Guild the cage with little trinkets
Shiny fears and anxious dreamings
Manicured contentment
Substituting joy
Take for granted haunted whispers
What comes easy if at all
Precious little out of reach
Hunger unfulfilled
Always need something else
Everything compared to something else
Counting blessings counting days
Crossing fingers wish on stars
Praying to anyone
With power to conceive
If only if only
Never meant more sincerely
If only if only
Never ask again
Always need something else
Everything compared to something else
What does so much and so many
Amount to without something else
Never and always
One and the same
When thirst becomes
The only thing that’s real
Striving and searching
Hoping and building
Watching it all
Come apart again
Always need something else…
