I lost something
I sit here quiet in my room.
I want to take a bite
out of life and leave a mark.
But my teeth aren't Sharp
enough for my appetite.
I want the wet mark left
on my neck to remind
me someone noticed my
footsteps.
I want to dance to the
moonlight's favorite song.
I want to sing to the
stars.
I want to listen
while the sun talks to me.
I want to be brave when
fear has no excuse.
I want to be your shelter
when it starts to drizzle.
I want to love you when
you think no one is there.
I want to be your pillow
when your head is heavy.
I want to be your moment
when you feel my pain.
I want to be!!!!!!!
