Want

A simple word
A desire for something
A longing for something
A lie

Every time
You said the word
I listened with
An open mind
And a glimmer
Of hope that only
You could smash
Into fragments
Of a memory

I watched you
Turn my days
To dreams
And my nights
To fairytales
Happily ever after
Didn't seem so
Far away

But you left
Took a step
Outside of what
We had
And wanted more
Than I was
Willing to give
Stepped into
The sunlight
And let your
True colours shine

And your want was
All I wanted
But what you wanted
Was more than I
Wanted to give
