The Shelter

It’s like a drug,

it’s definitely an addiction

what is it in you

that I loathe to come

closer to you but

hate being away for long?

is it love that makes me

sleepy, tires me in and out,

overwhelms me when I come away

but gives sweet dreams

and a glow on my face

when I am with you?

anything else is not enough

I simply want this – and only this –
day and night

A little bit of everything

I’m a little bit of anger,

I’m a little bit of desire,

I’m a little bit of brain,

I’m neither here, not there

I live everywhere, everyone belongs to me

Don’t pin me down

as a ‘type’; I don’t belong

to you and I understand

you don’t belong to me

 

I want you to take

me as I am, I will

take you as you are –

we will have a beautiful

friendship – if we both

accept ourselves too
