i can't be what you need and you can't be what i need but

the moment before the explosion
                                         he says
      "what do you need?
you can ask anything of me
        i'll give it to you"
but you can't
you close your eyes and
put your hands over your mouth and
beg for his release
      "what do you want?
tell me, what do you need?"
but you can't, you'll never tell
      it's wrong and too much
what you want is to be taken apart
      and put back together again
what you want is to feel
      and to be empty at the same time
what you want
      you don't know
