I need....

by Poet on the Piano   Jan 17, 2012


Please don't remind me that I'm weak....
I feel my bones shifting,
aching for purpose I haven't grasped yet-
and how I wish I could tell you
I'm nothing without you here.
The days we are separated
is like setting fire to my mind,
I try to escape
all the flames, but I only end up
further into the core
of something I can't back down from.

This passion is all of me;
it consumes what I give
until few witnesses are around
to see me silently
cry....
the way I need you
the anguish
will die with me.
I have already handed my
heart to you,
yet you escape
from my dreams....
is it truly you
that I need?

    This is just what I needed to read right now. The emotions...wow...I could truly relate.

    I loved the ending. I liked how the lines got shorter and shorter. Really added a nice pace to the end and left me wanting more. Leaving the reader with a question is an excellent way to leave your poem lingering in their mind. You did that flawlessly here. It made me want to read the poem again in case I could find the answer to your question embedded in your words.

    Sometimes we feel we need people that we truly don't need. We fool our minds into believing that we cannot live without them even if they aren't as strong in the passion as we are.

    This had so much emotion, namely sadness but deep and intense. Wording was smooth and flowing, written with great impact .
    Nicely done :-)
