I Don't Need

by Jenica Norris   Feb 5, 2005


I don't need the love you "supposedly" had for me,
and I don't need the promises you never meant to keep.
I don't need you smile or your loving eyes,
and I don't need to see you, to make me feel all right.

You've broken me and killed my soul,
pain surrounds that neverending hole,
that centers my heart and kills me slowly,
making me feel so much more lonely.

Worth my time is something you're not.
Anger I feel when my emotions get caught.
The lies to myself bounce off my wall,
so many there, it's begun to fall.

Piece by piece it drops to the floor.
My shield, my protectant, from all you have in store.
Pain seeps back slowly and surely, it's true.
All this horrid pain, it's all because of you.

And I don't need the love you "supposedly" had for me,
and I don't need the promises you never meant to keep.
I don't need it, I'd like to think it's true.
But deep down I know, all I want is you.
