I Wanna Get to Know You

by @d-simpson

I wanna get to know you, more than just your name. There's lots that I can show you, do you wanna know my name? Try as I might, nothing feels right, I weep every night. When I get home, I'm all alone, I cry and I moan. Read me a story, from your book of Truth. There's lots that you could show me, I want to know you. When  no one's near, I cower in fear; I've nothing that's dear. Nothing I say could make it okay, so I'll find my own way. What's gunna stop us from seeing eye-to-eye? Nothing's gunna stop us, so why not try? When I get old, or so I've been told, I'll die on my own. I can't act brave, I've no one to save; I'll dig my own grave. If I'm wrong will you correct me? Then point me towards brighter memories?
