Heartless

Who am I to ask you to be
More than the average man?
Who am I to wish you to be
more than the sum of your parts?
I look in the mirror and I only see
Someone who has no heart.

If I had a heart I would let you be
the someone who you are
instead of weighing you down
with wishes on every evening star
Because you are not a god or a genie in a jar.
I should let you just be who you are...
