All I want

All I want
to do is see you face,
Everyday watching
for you
needing you.
All I want
is to hear your voice
hear you say
my name,
everyday waiting
for you
needing you.
All I want
is to smell you
as you stand so close
watching for your smile
waiting for your touch.
All I want
is to see your face
to look for you
to be with you,
for that is all I want,
All I want
All I want
is you
everyday.

Tip Toe

Tip Toe
I go
To see my sleeping self
Climbing in that bed
To sleep with the girl,
Hearing them outside
Clawing at my window
Tearing at my soul.

Tip toe
I go
To shut them out
Leaving them in the dark
Ignoring their screams
Their scratches on the glass,
Trying to scar us with their mark.

Tip toe
I go
To cover my sleeping self
protecting her
From a continuing wrath,
Slaying the shadows
For them to never touch or stir
This little girl.

Tip toe
I go
To lay over my sleeping self
Straining to keep them away
Always fighting in the night
For my little girl to sleep
And be free
In the night.
