Streetlamps

singing high
for the most is your request
positive affirmation
warm address
polite call to comfort

i ask for more and more
you give and give
i ask for time and space
and here it is
you're willing
          to back down

'satisfied,
are you satisfied?'
i'm still focused on the giving
i'm still not as right as i'd
like to be

still asking for something
like a spoiled child
when she should really just be
ignored, as everyone else has learned.

when will you give up?
have you given up?
cause i'm way past that
my mind still being
extraordinarily unsatisfied.

is there a way
a line to cross
where everyone has finally
moved on, and i can't cross it
a place i might never cross

mystery left me satiated
its a black and white street
and i'm climbing on streetlamps
spotlight on you
what do you want to do

its none of my business
but i love to feel
    a different thought

its none of my business
but through time i've discovered
                 
    how i hate to be alone
