Wanted

You wanted me to be fine
You wanted me to be cool, and
I wanted you to be wrong
I wanted you to be down.

How long I’ll be pounding
My fist through the air,
The hissing sound in my ears
Painless. I feel nothing.

You wanted me to be calm
You wanted me to be far, and
I wanted to be within you,
in and out, in and out.

To be by your side,
That’s all I want
I would give everything but
My shoulder to cry

I won’t, I won’t
No more

You’re driving me away
That’s all you want
To have me around
Just out there, not in here
I wanted you to be… with me
