Don't You Want Me?

I wish you wanted me

as bad as I want you

I live on faith alone.

The drone of the fan by the night stand

is all that is voiced in the air.

your skin so fair

outlined by your hair

a face of fear and despair.

I wish to comfort you

but comfort me too.

I want to see the love I believe.

the one that has created a seed conceived.

I feel outcasted. love lasted

on faith alone.

I know the truth but renew my faith.

chase me and need me.

want me and tease me.

I want to be wanted

like I want to want.

must I continue to live love unrequited?

or shall the heavens open up

spread its light and show me what I know.

to know tomorrow will come is contentment

I want flame and passion

asking is my ego

and together we go

side by side

me slightly behind

alone

I do not ask for much

just renew my faith

give a little chase.

want me.
