To want to be
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.
