pointlessness

i want somebody who sees the pointlessness
and still keeps their purpose in mind

i want somebody who has a tortured soul
some of the time
i want somebody who will either put out for me
or put me out of my misery
or maybe just put it all to words
and make me go, you know
i never heard it put that way
make me say, what did you just say?
i want somebody who can hold my interest
hold it and never let it fall
someone who can flatten me with a kiss
that hits like a fist
or a sentence, that stops me like a brick wall
i'm tired of being the interesting one
i'm tired of having fun for two
just lay yourself on the line
and i might lay myself down by you
but don't sit behind your eyes
and wait for me to surprise you
i want somebody who can make me
scream until it's funny
i want someone who's not afraid of me
or anyone else
in other words i want someone
who's not afraid of themselves
