First draft…
Being everything to everyone
is a twisted form of greed
I relieve you of your neediness,
while on your gratitude I feed
It starves me of the time for me,
for myself I pay little heed
I want more than that, than anything
to be the thing you need
Not to give the thing, or to do the thing,
but to be the one you call
I want so to be needed,
to be wanted, to be all
Your first place to go for refuge
in my arms or in my care
I greedily offer solace
as I run my fingers through your hair
Nothing fulfills my neediness
like your coming here to me
A white knight on a sturdy steed
Is what I hope you see
I want this, though not just for you
But for everyone I know
I want to be this for everyone
everywhere I go
No distance is so great
that I wouldnt make the trip for greed
For the psychic boost I get
from taking on the burden of your need
I long to be the longed for
I want to be the one
I want to love and be loved
Like the shining of the sun
