I want to live for you
not just exist, like a lizard in the sun
but really live
diving deep
silver in the river
splashing and swimming
and flipping my tail
I want to cry for you
not just feel sorry
but rivers inside me
smoothing, eroding
the jagged rocks
I want to feel you
not momentary emotion
but earthquakes that shatter
and shock my heart to life
I want to find you
not just a book
but a path through the woods
blood on my knees
looking for seeds
to grow in the garden.
I want to be you
not just a friend
Your blood in my veins
Your words in my mind
My family, they walk and talk like you
People will tell me I'm looking like you
I will just tell them
It's not me, it's you
