I Want

I want to write a thousand letters
lock them away, let them rot
so I may find them years away
and prove them all wrong

I want to see the sun set
and watch the sky turn a brilliant red
reminding me that I�ve lost a day
that I could be living in

I want to hold my shadow�s hand
pull it next to me
talk until it disappears
and I�m left with nothing

I want to crawl into my reflection
so it stops deceiving
once they see behind the glass
they�ll all be running

I want to be more than a book
that�s read for a little while
only to be put back on a shelf
and never dusted off

I want to shut this out, erase this part
start all over again
because i believe that part of me
doesn�t want anything
