For Herself

You make me laugh
You want to make me cry
I don't want to cry

You stare at me
Willing me to look into your eyes
And I am scared

I look into your eyes
And I want to fall into them
I am reckless

You say nice things to me
You make me feel good
I am nasty to you

You weave the truth
With your fantasies
You do not lie

I want to lay my head
On your lap
I want to feel the weight
Of your hand stroking my hair

I want to make you proud
So you will smile
And say 'good boy'

I want you to make me cry

I want to make you laugh.
