All I Want…
written with the music of Bastille, “World Gone Mad” cycling through my head. If you have access to the music, listen to it while reading this poem…
In the moment
It seems like there is nothing
Nothing at all
But loneliness
Heartache
and pain.
I don’t want to live like this.
I don’t want to be like this.
It is never the same
All that goes on around me
Nothing is ever the same
Nothing to ever want to be
It isn’t what I want anymore
It isn’t what I feel
It isn’t what brings me life
It isn’t what creates my world
To have you here with me
To only feel you with me
To only breathe you in
To only watch you dancing
Around this lonely world
Like you have no cares
No fear at all of this crazy old world
My heart aches for you
For you to see only me
It doesn’t feel but only aches
It washes away the tears
Hides them deep inside
Where no one but you will ever find
In that deepest place
Only you have seen
I want to scream out loud
I want to hold my head
With both hands in a vice so hard
It makes me feel I’m mad
Makes me scream out loud
And hold my breath
All I see
In this crazy world
Are the clouds surrounding this fake world
All I hear
In this crazy world
Are the screams filling my empty head
All I want
Is to see your face
Shiny and bright as the sun
Then I can walk away
Knowing you are well
While I am dead
In this lonely world
All I need
Is to feel you
Close beside me
Where I can never be
All I am
Is this lonely thought
Never seeing you
Or ever feeling you
All I want
Is to see your face
Feel your hand
On my cheek
Take these tears
From my cold cheeks
Let me hear
The words you speak to me
All I want
Is all I have
When I am with you
And you hold my hand.
All I need
Is your loving embrace
Holding me close
In this dream
It isn’t real
While I sit here
Only a dream
To fill this empty space
All I want
Is you with me
But its only a dream
It’s not for me.
