Analysis of I want more



I want someone who can hear a painting
Someone haunted by a line of poetry
A soul who is comfort and
pulse raising at the same time

I want to be deeply understood
Although I am not sure who I am
I want to remove the masks I have worn for so long
And know what is real and what is a façade

I want to stop being lonely in crowded places
I want realness and depth
I want to know lotus flowers
And what lies beneath the murky waters?

I want a person who feels like home
Like ancient twisted oaks that call to me
I want sunsets and moonlit nights
That echo with the voices of ancestors

I want someone who will hear my secrets
And kiss my scars
I want the silver glimmers to be
Fault lines traced by my lover

I want more
