I never wanted anything from you
except what you could give
with no rebounds.
I never needed an everything
I struck out the first few times and I keep missing now
so I carve the home I call you
out of the ashes
after it survives the fire.
And when you’re back
you don’t need to try to keep me sparking,
pull me from the rapids,
let me want you so you know what it means,
I let you call me yours
and I am not so deep in the ground anymore.
