You want

You need

You feel

All the desires apparent in me

And you say that you care

But I just want you to see

That love is only real

When it is shared

And it is not that I don’t care

You must feel disappointed

Being forced on the other side

Waiting for reciprocation

Until your needs are satisfied

So don’t blow out your only candle

Darkness tends to dim the soul

Just let the flame flicker through the night

Until you have gained control

And if you had stopped, you'd know

I’m just like that candle in the night

On an empty table

In an empty room

Attempting to extend my light

But overshadowed by the moon
