~ WANT ~

"Want" is such a strong feeling
it's almost like a chore
it's an endless nagging emotion
that keeps yelling, "More" please "More"

So get your pail and shovel
and dig a hundred pounds
fill that sack with leadened dirt
that you will carry round

For "Wanting" is a burden
that you haul upon your back
It's filled with molten craving
that fills that haunting sack

"Wanting" is desire
that rarely gets fulfilled
you feel it most when there's a ghost
that once gave you a thrill

The scale is left unbalanced
when we want what we can't have
an unrequited romance
that leaves us oh so sad

We're left with a gut-wrenched feeling
our stomach churns and aches
and it's so close to our heart
we think it's love that breaks

But it's not love and never was
but a knot we can't define
that twists and turns so vividly
we mistake it - for Love's blind

We spend our lives still searching
for that unattainable  star
so we can keep on feeling
the "wanting" from afar

Yes, "Want" is a tremendous feeling
"Desire" has no bounds
The work involved is so exhausting
that we think that we have found

The object of our affections
the love of loves divine
but slavery to a "Feeling"
is all that we did Find.
