To Be Loved

Life flows past without sound

Things are sloughing off of me like shreds unwound

Standing there, adored in your air

Your mouth is broken but the words keep spilling out

“I wish I was

Better and stronger

To hold you to me

I wish I was

Wiser and older

To be what you seek”

But why would you leave me?

You’ve seen too much of it

Nobody else will care

Why would you leave me?

You’ve seen too much of it

Nobody else will care
