All I Need

I know you don't see me

The way I see you 

When I plead with your indifference

As you hold true

But the truth is

Indifference spreads, blazing

Like a forest fire 

Through the rain that perplex

And muddy the landscape 

And the prisoners are left to eny

The flying birds, afraid of heights

Wanting to shape the clouds 

And taste the sun

Eyes are not windows to the soul any more than

Jail cells are a refuge

But I, trembling, am locked on yours 

We spent a lot of time with our eyes closed

Or at least you did

When you kissed me there wasn't a hint of fireworks

Just rolling waves of lightening and thunder

That reminded me that I didn't want to be alone 

We are both creatures of the night 

Our habits are formed by speeding cars and the stars above

And feeling as reckless as we feel lost 

Now we're six hours away

Not five minutes

You're just out of your cell

I'm flying through the city

Clinging to what I can never evade

I want you to taste the sun

And shape the clouds 

Darling, I hope in the future

All I need

All I need.
