The Way You Wanted Me To Be

Imagination has now killed the intention
desire, hunger
for the person you were
and time has now revived 
the person that I am
along with the desire 
and madness that drove me
for years and years 
with hungry heart and 
eyes with tears

long and long 
I walked 
on a blank sheet of paper
with a broken feelings 
and a perfectly fine pen
a gift that I faintly remember now
but still It writes my heart out
when I'm lonely and 
exactly the way you wanted me to be
