I want to…..


cage a hug BUT I hug a cage

care to study BUT I study the care

talk to question BUT I question the talk

silence the ruin BUT I ruin the silence

plan to push BUT I push the plan

voice a need BUT I need a voice

delight in a search BUT I search for delight

use my hunour BUT I humour by use

lie on trust BUT I trust a lie

hug a mistake BUT I mistake a hug

kiss an insult BUT I insult a kiss

mate a crush BUT I crush a mate

touch to hope BUT I hope to touch

love to dream BUT I dream to love

hold a part BUT I part his hold

hand my reach BUT I reach his hand

love his gaze BUT I gaze at his love

end the fear BUT I fear the end

die to leap BUT I leap to die
