the world to win

we all want more.

we want

more love, more time, more

sleep,

more of that,

more of this.

we want another spoonful,

another kiss.

we want what we can't

have,

and dismiss what we do.

we want

each other to be different,

to be like us.

we crave, we cry ourselves

to sleep.

it's only at the end,

as the light dims,

do our hearts say enough,

letting at last

the world to win.
