What I Want

what i want is someone to hold
someone who loves, and is never cold
who's eyes are kind, with a heart of merit
who will cry on my shoulder, and with my anger share it

i will not stand for the impure of heart
dull, or dry, or with no spark
a love of great that never ends
that's when life truly begins.
