What You Want, What I Want

What I want is small Seems nothing at all You make it seem petty I’m not sure I’m ready To give up control Leave gaping a hole All seems black and white When nothing is right How can it be best? This pivotal test To give up what’s mine Not simply defined Yet their will is not mine…. What you want is not fair You plot and despair Your angst thrust at me But still they don’t see You are a their hero It’s not enough though To promise and not be No one sees it but me I struggle with pride Emotions to hide For they are innocent To your true intent Maybe it’s best this way Letting it all slip away I’m beginning to see I have nothing to gain; hearing their pleas What I want; What you want With all stripped away Perhaps we are able to me half-way Maybe it’s true Even though I might lose What we really should say Is that it’s them that will pay Unless we want the same thing…
