Everything That You Want

I'm never pleased if you're not pleased,
Always at a loss if you're at a loss.
You come forth and the stage is seized
Because you are everything - you're the boss.
If I fail in my duties I fail you.
That must be avoided at any cost.
Without your approval what would I do?
I'd be stranded at sea, hopelessly lost.
Oh, but when you're transfixed, all is glory!
To see your face, to comprehend
Your total absorption in the story
Is my beginning and my end.
All parts of me venture forth from this font.
I long to be everything that you want.
