What is want,
A craving or desire?
Consuming need
That sets the soul on fire?
To want is to wish
Though it may be greed,
To wish is to want
Or to be in need,
What is desire
Whether it be hers or his?
We may not know what we want
Or what want is,
Unrequited longing
That seems to smother,
We’ve all had it in some form
One way or another.
