i want to be ice <br />so i can be as cold <br />as you have been to me <br />and then melt so i can just slip away <br /> <br />leave your life <br />like im sliding in between your fingers <br />i want to be the fire <br />so i can burn those <br /> <br />who have tried to burn me <br />then my flames can stripe away their dignity <br />i would leave behing my smoke <br />giving evidence i was once there <br /> <br />but i disappeared <br />and died right on out of your lives <br />when no one cared <br />i want to be like the wind <br /> <br />so i can pass you right by <br />without having to say hi <br />but only slightly whispering, bye <br />i want to be the tsunami <br /> <br />to wash away the happiness <br />that you have taken from me <br />the hurricane <br />to blow away your possiblities <br /> <br />and leaving behind only your memories <br />the earthquake <br />to shake things up <br />misplace your life <br />make it so you cant find anything <br /> <br />but can only want to know <br />i want to be the lie <br />the one you told me <br />i want to be the tear in your eye <br />just to make you cry <br />or i can be something simple <br />like a bird <br />so that i can fly <br />leave behind this ground <br />and take to the sky <br />beyound the clouds <br />and farther than the moon <br />just to leave your life <br /> <br />with no reminder <br />that you and i <br />at one time <br />couldve been fine <br />so now im farther than distance can take us <br /> <br />and too far from your grasp <br />im farther than the farthest star <br />but at the same time <br />you can reach me by car <br />just so you know <br /> <br />my heart has left you behind <br />and this time there in no button <br /> <br />to press rewind<br /><br />Selina Munsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-want-to-be-9/
