What He Wanted
Wishing for acceptance, the child waits
Slowly dying as dejection sets in
Holding out for true love, the man waits
Slowly withering as relationships fail
Hanging on to blind hope...
Falling in a heap as love walks right past
Collapsing inwards while running away from acceptance
Rushing from offered love
Fearing the loss of freedom
Terrified of dependence...
Others watch in amazement
As all that was dreamed
Horrifies the dreamer
Captivated by his terror they stare
At the man who finally got what he wanted...
And ran from it.
Dedicated to Ba---
I hope you understand me better now.
