Am I Enough?

by C Cattaway   Nov 4, 2019


Absence makes the heart grow fonder?
No, it makes me weak.
Feeling like you may go off me,
Where we didn't speak.

Only just a day, and yet
It feels like it's been longer.
Am I needy? Or do I
Need to be a bit stronger?

A life of feeling worthless,
And then you walk, unshod, in,
And tell me that I'm something more.
You accept what I bring,

But it's only a short while,
And I don't believe it yet.
So, how can I believe you,
When we only newly met?

So, needy is what needy does.
I yearn for reassurance.
The doubt; despair I feel about
Myself floods me in torrents.

How could you want to be with me
When this is how I am?
I've hardly heard a thing all day,
So why not, when you can?

You said you don't scare easily?
Well how is this for pushing?
If I could hear your voice, right now,
My heart would stop this wishing.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder?
How fond I am now!
I spent my life not good enough.
Can you change that, somehow?
