I Want

"I WANT"is the phrase that most people share w/the ones that they love to "Prove"that they care "I WANT"I once thought,before I knew better was just a plea bargain,something put in a letter "I WANT"is a way for me to implore on you,that I'm feeling alone and ignored "I WANT"I use sometimes,a way to express the fact that I feel that you could care less "I WANT"is a term that I know that I've said not always out loud,but at least in my head "I WANT"I use often to try and explain the way that I feel,the confusion,the pain "I WANT"was the one thing,in my mind,that I had I knew I could use if things had turned bad "I WANT"was a thing I knew I could say subconsciously trying to push you away "I WANT"I have thought most times was my friend those words got me through times I thought wouldn't end "I WANT"seems a selfish and greedy command it seems so self centered,a petty demand "I WANT"really IS a selfish remark that ultimately seems to push us apart "I WANT"now it seems to me that I'm older is a pathetic attempt to make me seem bolder "I WANT"now I know has done more harm than good and living without it is best,if I could "I WANT"I know now has caused me much pain but letting it go all together's insane "I WANT"really can be a positive note as long as it's not used to make a scapegoat "I WANT"to attempt to change how I see the things in my life that are important to me "I WANT"to live my life in bliss w/the one,that I know,Ishould be with "I WANT"only one thing,which I can't control a normal life,with you,THAT'S ALL!!! "I WANT"I guess,is down to right now that someday I'll have your solemn vow "I WANT"for you to feel the same but with no pity for me,no shame "I WANT"that more than you understand so for now I'll just settle for being your "MAN"
