What Do You Want From Me

A poem that I turned into a song later. Check out Weathered Pages on any of the music streamers and you will find it as one of our songs

A song, a rhyme… just to spend a little time.

I always wonder what you want from me.

 

Perhaps an act to show I care, 

a word, a touch, a longing stare.

Oh, what I’d give to know what it could be.

 

Should I sing til I can’t sing no more?

Come crawling back up to your door,

bringing gifts, whatever I can buy?

 

Maybe you simply need to hear,

“I love you” whispered in your ear…

were it that easy surely, I would try.

 

But by judging what I know of you,

a simple fix will never do.

No, something more is always called at hand.

 

Like - help you swing from every star,

or be as perfect as you are,

that’s where it sits from what I understand.

 

But trying to pin it down just so

is like trying to pin a wave, you know…

upon the sand like sung in that old song.

 

And just like them I’ve not a clue

what the hell I’m supposed to do.

So, on I go… as you lead me along.
