Wither

Wither

A Poem by Travis Prino

I need a lover

I need a friend

I run for cover

when I start to bend

I won't let it break me

I'll carry this through

I'll embrace reality

and hold what is true


I

want to feel alive

I want to touch the sky

believe I'll never die

and I

don't want to crumble apart

don't want a broken heart

believe there's more than what we are


I need a guardian

I need a saint

I hide when the pain sets in

so my voice is faint

I'll bury it in my soul

so no one will stay

I did just like I was told

I wither away


I

want to feel alive

I want to touch the sky

believe I'll never die

and I

don't want to crumble apart

don't want a broken heart

believe there's more than what we are


I need a leader

I need a pawn

I can do without either

I know right where I belong

I knew I would make it

nothing could keep me down

so don't be mistaken

all I've been looking for is found


I

want to feel alive

I want to touch the sky

believe I'll never die

and I

don't want to crumble apart

don't want a broken heart

believe there's more than what we are


follow what's inside and it'll never be wrong

follow what's inside and you'll go wrong

follow what's inside

inside


I

want to feel alive

I want to touch the sky

believe I'll never die

and I

don't want to crumble apart

don't want a broken heart

believe there's more than what we are


foolish of you to think I'd just wither away.

Just a little caveat to my writing, 95% of what I write are lyrics so excuse the length and repetition and don't be deterred by that. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment. more..
