I want someone who knows not of heartache’s toll
A specimen bred from unspoiled radiance
Of whom cannot give credence to the shadows
That bore shelter to a creature like me
I want someone produced from innocence
A fine soul crafted from the purest sand
And from that silk-like substance
Exists inexplicably to the cobbled dark
I want someone of an enigma no longer
A being coated in chipped chocolate molding
Not the silhouette dipped in polymer
Of which rage is the heat to rip through
I want someone who knows I can’t escape
But there is no cell to which I’m confined
Only corners of a fragile state
To which you find no burden when they’re bent
I want someone who can only see the light
When pupils of dark behold no reflection
That is the ideal for being doused in the inescapable
That the light from your heart will be able to greet mine
I want you
So that one day you’ll see
That there is not a sight more magnificent
Than a glow that shines brighter in the dark.
