Ice Cube

You burned so brightly against the darkness of the night. I longed to reach out for you but I was dawn away into the crowd. Everyone needs me more than I need myself and I can’t find a way to get to you. I want you. I need you. I know you will magnify me in all of my magnificence.

When will I see you again? Do not let me lose myself again.

You can rescue me. Please. I have lost myself and I don’t know what to do.

I am desperate.

I am afraid.

I am alone.

I am contained in the darkness and they won’t let me out.

Find me.

You are the only one who has the power to find me in the dark.

I am forced to keep myself small.

I am shrinking every day.

Soon I will be insignificant.

I don’t mean to be so hard and cold.

I can soften my hard edges for you.

If only you come and find me.
