I Want To

I want to kiss your scars,
Make love to your wounds,
I want to hold you in my arms,
Make every piece of you mine.

I want to make you laugh,
Make you smile,
Take every pain you have,
Shove it aside from you.

I want to hold your hand,
Keep holding it forever,
I want to peck your worries,
Make sure you don’t quiver.

I want to hold you in my arms,

Put my head in your lap of heaven,

I want to die in you,

I want to stay in you.

Your beauty ignites sparks in me,
Your elegance bursts off my soul,
I keep getting ignited and burned,
Burning inside you, Igniting for you.

The dream I see everyday still haunts me,
Where you and I are holding hands, kissing and embracing each other,
Then I open my eyes and don’t find you with me,
I close my eyes and see that dream again and I want to keep dreaming.
