I need you

I need you.




I need you like a child needs a father as she grows.

Like an adolescent needs a brother as she learns.

Like a woman needs a man as she loves.










I need you like I needed all of the men in my life when they weren't there.

Maybe that's where I get the strength my family speaks of.



Maybe I get it from all of those moments I needed someone.........




















and they weren't there



They're never there.








Will you break the cycle?









Will you be there when I need you?


When you're not, will I hate you?


But does it really matter?


Because even though you're not here now, I still feel you out there.


So I guess you're already breaking the cycle even as you exist.











Thank you


But I still miss you. I still need you. I still want to see your face.

Human greed makes me want more. Makes me feel that feeling your existence is not enough. That I need to see you. See your eyes and feel.



feel what I've wanted to feel for a long, long time.
