What I Wanna Be

By Nehema


Wanna be your shirt
Snuggled tightly against your chest
Keeping you comfy and warm
So I can hear the heartbeat pounding in your breast

Wanna be your favorite car
Gifting you liberation
Drive me hard and fast
So I can provide you with power and exhilaration

Wanna be your welding torch
I burn hot in your hands
A tool you've mastered
So I can feel your careful tight grip and deliver your demands

Wanna be your diary
Tell me your sorrow and fear
A most trusted friend
So I can keep your secrets safe and your goals clear

Wanna be your blanket
Providing protection from chills
Securing pleasant dreams
So I can keep you comfy and share in your thrills

Wanna be your pillow
Lay your head on my breast
Providing sweet serenity
So I can cradle your head while you rest

Wanna be your cigarette
I'll help relieve your frustration
Breathe me in, inhale me
So I can help adjust your attitude with mental renovationĀ 

Wanna be in your thoughts
Every day you see
You'd never have to be alone
So I could be inside you the way that you're inside of meĀ

    If I was to print this and put it on the wall, it would flirt more then all the teenage posters of women, I used to have combined. Enticing, thrilling, willful, mature. I love it Robyn, it is a node that can be heard loud and clear. ~ Tiger
