To be loved
To be missed
To be noticed
To be wished.
To be craved
To be shielded
To be saved
To be heeded
To make you feel
that you belong
And take note,
when you are gone
To walk beside you
Even when you cry
To walk behind you
When it's silence you crave
To hold you closer
Till you want to be held
To tighten the grip
And keep you from hell
To reflect, to mirror,
To calm, to appease
Don't we all deserve
Such love, and such peace?
How many times
Will you break my heart?
Bit by bit
You keep making me sad!
Here, some time
Then gone for quite a while
You were not with me,
Who gave you these love bites?
Once and for all
Let's bid our goodbyes.
Just take one day
And do it, in a jiffy.
Let's call it off,
Let's not look back!
Take your love elsewhere
I'm too broke, to even cry.
It hurts my soul
And yet I try
I'm torn to bits
But to keep up, I strive.
I help break shackles
And put back smiles
But when left alone
I break down, I cry.
No horizon in sight
It's only cold nights
No visitors to my hut
None asking if I'm alright.
I leave my door ajar
For any passer-by
Looking for some warmth
Or to while away time.
Until one lonely night
I'm awakened by a cry
An ask for help
From one about to die?
I fly, through my window
And leave behind my pride
For that cry for help I know
Was myself - my inner child.
