What I Want You To Be

I am just a tree So be my taproot Not leaves that fall When seasons shoot Their bullets of fall I am just a man So be my life Not a wife that flees When things strike Like stings of bees I am just a wife So be my husband Not a man that frowns When marriage lands On some ups and downs I am just a car So be my steering wheel Not tyres that roll At maximum speed Obliviously to their goal I am just a country So be my patriot Not a tourist that comes And turns into Judas Iscariot When darkness storms I am just a night So be my twinkling star Not a gloomy cloud That mars me with scars And disowns a clown
