    Something

    They all want something from me
    something I can not give,
    I see it in their eyes, hear it in their voice
    It's something that can not be

    As the music flows around us
    I feel the longing in their touch,
    It's not mine to give,
    It's something they can not rush

    There's only one that has a chance
    In his arms I safely rest
    For he asks nothing of me feeling my pain,
    It shows in his eyes and in his stance

    He does not want something from me
    He's lost in his own world
    A dance is all he wants...
    A dance is all he needs

    Don't worry about what others want from you. Worry about putting your life back together. That guy you write about will show up, and usually when you aren't looking. You have captured almost every emotion I felt during a rough time in my life and made me feel it again. That's what good poets do. TS

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
