I'm having this craving again

I want to feel the lyrics in songs again,
letting them glow in my throat, feeling the warmth
instead of mindlessly pouring them out of my vocal chords,
wasted light spattering the ground.
I want to get choked up when I look at the moon again.
I want to feel my heart rate increase when I read about Jack Kerouac again.
I want to feel like running again, even when I know there's nowhere to go,
and I want that to bother me again, to DEEPLY bother me again
I want a wild heart like the poets; I want to write again
I want to stop caring that flowers are cliche
I want to crave the smell of honeysuckle again
I want to dream about jumping on the back of a boxcar again
I want to stop invalidating my own feelings
until I finally mute them again
because I'm terrified of losing this craving again
I don't want to be a ghost again
I don't want to be a ghost again
Don't let me fade again
I want to stay here
A lady asked me for a quote today in an email, something having to do with my scholarship. I realized I hadn't thought about favorite quotes in a long time, and going through them for about half an hour made me realize that I used to be so passionate, and the quotes kind of brought a lot of that back. This came from all that. I might edit it later but I kind of like it now. Much more simple and straightforward than most of my stuff, but at least it's raw.

the rawness of this is really great, it feels a lil disorganized but i think thats how it sounds best!!
