I want to take your breath away.
I want to slap you senseless with "meaningful" words.
I want to shock you out of your pathetic coma,
So that you may wake up and sense the beauty of reality.
I want to make you see pure love,
Anguished hate,
Inner peace,
World war,
Simple truth,
Brutal lies.
I want to show you things that even I haven't seen.
I want to take your hand
And lead you through life's labyrinth.
I want you to remember what I teach,
And forget everything else.
I want to help you spread your wings,
So that you may fly me somewhere new.
I want you to listen to me,
So that you'll be able to hear the music.
I want you to cry,
So that laughing will come easier.
I want to give you something,
And I want you to keep it forever.
I want my words to thrive in your heart.
I want you to live,
Because I've already died.
