• I want you to see,

    I want you to be,

    You're my beautiful baby,

    You're my beautiful glee



    And this fire between us,

    It burns real bright,

    But its gonna go out soon,

    So turn off all the lights



    And since you're away,

    I can't think straight,

    All I can think,

    Is everything I cannot say



    I've heard it on the news,

    And I've read it in stories,

    Men are always dying,

    All because they miss their glories



    Well my glory is you,

    And if I kick the boot,

    I just want to remind you,

    That baby I love you



    If you forget my name,

    Oh god, I've got so many,

    Then you can call me John,

    It's just one of my shames



    Now as I write you this letter,

    Please think real hard,

    Am I the one you want,

    Or am I just a shard



    Of this life that you live,

    Oh you've had so many,

    Guys in your head,

    I'm sure theirs plenty



    But if I might be the one,

    God please give me hope,

    Please let me sail on,

    Please don't sink my boat



    Well I guess this is it,

    I'll write you again,

    I just need time,

    I need my second wind



    So after this stanza,

    Of this poem I write,

    I shall go back,

    To living in the light



    And if I might slip,

    Into the dark,

    And you're not here to save me,

    You always have my heart



    I promise I'll write again,

    But I just can't take more hits,

    Into my chest,

    This poem is over, I quit...
