Do we to be wanted / when we want / to be wanted.

Do we cling to scripts / write new tales / fail our trip.

Is it a 'cheap trick' / to 'want you to want me' / in our need to self-inflict.

Do we want to be wanted / when we / want to be wanted.

Do we yearn deep warmth / of another / to soothe our storms.

Our ego screams / to be heard / to be seen.

Our ego wants more / to be the earth in air / yet it is only just a spore.

Is it there / more to give / enough to share.

I want to show/ but stay inside / play to the glow.

I want to lean in close /  inside your throes / feel your dose.

Is it enough / to inhale your scent / to calm my tough.

My warmth expands / as I yearn / to feel your warm hand.

My coldness shares / my doubt and fear / of love too scared.

We sit still / telling our story / yearning to fill another thrill.

We dig holes / deep inside / to keep ourselves whole.

We all want worth / to be / to be wanted / wanted since birth.
Seeking from outside
Bringing it inside
To fill the holes
Seems to be
like never
enough soil
despite our toil.
