Maybe I Do
Maybe I do want you to follow me
and to know that you're here to stay…
and for you to take me up in your embrace
make me feel so safe and let me know that
no one could ever detonate the bond we have between us
Maybe I do want that matching throne next to you
and to be put on a pedestal and to be seated
above the common people and to truly be treated
as the royal queen that I am…by everyone
Maybe I do just want you to want me
as fervently and passionately as I always want you
Maybe I do just need to know…why?
Why me when I do not enhance you but instead inhibit you
and your abilities and restrict your possibilities.
Your career is going to soar
but I'm the sandbag to your hot air balloon tying you down
Maybe I do want to hear
the three most dangerous words in the world
escape your lips so they can work their magic,
caress my ears and penetrate my mind and scar brain with the memory…
Maybe I do…but I would never ask you to…
