Call It Me

"Tonight... I feel like, more..." 

Like a sponge, ready to absorb
To saturate each of my senses 
With life, with love
To share, to give and to receive
    To overflow
To swim, to weep, to bleed
To sweat, to drown
    And to freeze
To know it all 
Is this greed?
Is this life?
Is this a contradiction?
The many faces of God
To not know everything, but to feel it
This is what it means to be alive
To love, to express, to absorb

Taste this passion, taste this greed
Call it what you want
    But call it me
I wont stop this love, this need
To live, to love, to see
    To dream
To see the moon and the stars
To stare into the sun
Though it burns my eyes
But lets me feel what it feels to burn
To taste the air and take it with me
To feel the water
And know what it means to swim
And to drown
This passion, please let it never escape me
Hold true
Live, love, bleed, cry, and sing too
Shift your eyes out of focus
To see through
Bless me, torture me, bleed me
I will ingest it all
"I wont stop following you"
Not what it means to know
But what it means to feel
To overflow
