I wish for someone
Who can clean a boundless mess
Who can arouse a wooden doll
and see exuberance in the lifeless



I wish to absorb
Every beautiful thing
The moon’s silver orb
Your voice when you sing


Yet it seems the more I draw
The less you have to give
These aching needs do harm
But they inspire me to live





I remember my spirit
Though it is buried down deep
You knew just how to stir it
Even how to make it weep

I have been wanting far too much
To discover, experience and amaze
Thus even if I give in for your touch
Nothing can bid my blood to race

For we both lost it
I never thought you could
How thrills do have a limit
For a person made of wood
