To Be Loved

Life flows past without sound
Things are sloughing off of me like shreds unwound
Standing there, adored in your air
Your mouth is broken but the words keep spilling out

I wish I was
Better and stronger
To hold you to me
I wish I was
Wiser and older
To be what you seek

But why would you leave me?
You’ve seen too much of it
Nobody else will care
Why would you leave me?
You’ve seen too much of it
Nobody else will care
