What I Want

I am a glutton

Filled with cold hearted greed,

For the things I lust after;

For the things that I need.

Would you spare me your engine?

Your most crucial part?

To warm up my insides,

I desire a heart.

On top of that, please,

Include just for me:

The warmth of another,

To answer my plea.

And when I grow weary,

From this world’s pain,

Would you spare me a shoulder?

Your loss is my gain.

Though shoulders grow tired,

As does my will.

Share me your embrace,

To stop this lonely chill.

And in your arms,

Perhaps I would find,

Whatever we call safety;

The illusion of the mind.

The most important of all,

And definitely most rare,

Is to split the lost treasure;

Your love, if you dare.
