Better
I thought I was better.
 The sun burns the ground next to me.
 I want the clouds back.
 I want shade
 on the spot next to me
 where I am sure 
 You're supposed to be.
 I pick at the gravel
 wanting it to fall apart
 like I always seem to.
 I don't want empty spots next to me.
 You wouldn't sit down anyway.
 And if you did, 
 it would be pointless.
 For I wouldn't speak.
 You wouldn't answer if I did.
 Where has the point gone?
 When did I lose my meaning?
 I wanted to see you, and what happens?
 I want more.
 You know you're in too deep
 when you start wanting more.
 I thought I had stopped wanting.
 I'm a child.
 It's who you think I am,
 It's who I'll be.
 For you.
 As I said before,
 I thought I was better.
