Only Waiting
You are drowned in an ethereal beauty,
You are wholly, intrinsically good
My soul is sullied, but yours is as pure as crystal clear waters
My salty tears would wash your face
But it is clean; you are too clean for me to touch
I reach out for you and drawback just as quickly
We cannot touch, but I can dream
I dream that you will take me in your arms and accept me
My flaws and failures most all
Take me as I am – a sullen, unhappy bully
If only you knew that I live to see you in pleasant spirits
My life's work is to please you—
Woe, cry tears for me that I have cried for you
Cry for my inability to not need you
Pity my codependency, empathize with my struggle
Talk with me, that I may not beg for a whisper of your words
Speak, so that I may not tremble for an insult
I would take it all if it meant that you had thought of me
Be my savior, so that I may not be your downfall
Remember me not as your tormentor
But as the tormented one that loves you, but most of all
Love me for loving you
