I sought out
A girl whom I could envy
I sought in
A feeling I could control.
Laughing meltwater laughter
Skimming stones with skipping feet
All together
As if nothing were the same as others.
I sought out
A bond forged in experience
I brought in a little less control
I found myself drawn
To just one more hug.
Don't let's go, don't let's be
It's not as simple
As love and hate
For I was not free
I hold your hand and
Feel the shackles
I stroke your hair and
Feel the web.
Sticky.
I look at my feet
As I trot beside you and
I'm led by sticks and carrots
By my endless want for something
You'll have to go away to give me.
