Never Got Me Very Far

What I wish to be?
Does not work for me,
I've lost that trust that makes me great in time...

Now that you have been near me,
A friend as you will—
Can your heart beat with mine
And trust what men fear to be?
Will you watch my fall?
Dabbling on every thought that comes from my lips
Splashing on your beauty and elegance
The true words of a person,
Who wants everything to do with your world?
But is afraid to ask your permission to be.
