Oh, to be loved
like the stars love the sky
like a reader love the book
like a paintbrush love the canvas
like a paper love the ink
like a ocean kiss the shore
like a heart want to be loved
like a flame crave the air
like a song love the voice

Oh, to be loved
like a cage love the bird
like a needle love the skin
like the poison love the vein
like the thorn love the rose
like a nightmare love the dreamer
like a dagger kiss the wound
like a mask hide the face
like a grave crave a body
