this you cannot do. yearning.

to request this individual as a whole, not a part.
to want this and all from it
to wait for this and it never comes
to wait for this, there is no end
to crave the power and will
to crave the beginning and the inevitable end
i hurt now
i hurt because i crave this
i lie awake and pray for sweet dreams
to lift me up from what i must feel
so i get up and walk away
after the thought, after the fact,
i realize how small i am
walk, crawl away
but still love you
i crawl and live in reverse for you
i live starched white and peachy clean for you
only i see
