so what?
can you be my saviour without being my doom
my bright sunny day and never my rain
the fuel for my fire not once be like water
the joy of my days not the source of my pain
can you be my freedom without being my jail
my faithful companion and not why i'm alone
the air that i breathe not the reason i can't
my comfortable sleep not a bed hard as stone
can you be my master and not treat me as a servant
the moat of my castle not a hall on my wall
my coffee in the morning and not my hungover
the pride of my home not a thief on my hall
can you be my armor not my achilles heel
a teacher i could learn from not a tumor in my brain
my fountain of youth not the lines on my forehead
my reason for living not why life is in vain
my stepping stone not my stumbling block
not my hopelessness but my wishing well
can you be all these and not a little less
of course you can't...but what the hell.
