Veruka Salt
I want....what I want
and I know not what that want may be.
so you have to guess
what I want...
you promised you would always provide for me.
because I want WHEN I want--
and when I decide to need it
and when I want it, need it, spy it--
Please, please run
for I burn to chase it....
So bring me what I want and
satisfied I will not be
but be a devil, dangle it--
and that want is all I'll want to see
so be the serpent, show the apple
hidden within your coils
and then play god and say
"Tempt thee not
To eat those sacred spoils."
Because then you'll have given me all I want
All I ever needed.
A god and devil and curious child
a want and desire to steal it.
