Do I need you because I love you
or love you because I need you
I need you
NEEDED you
freed from you
held hostage by these tears I screamed for you
the silence I cried for you
dripped down my walls and faded my existence to black
but I still want you back
cause I miss you
MISSED you
received life's greatest gift from you
but before I return it let me clean it off
rinse the blood from the steel that pierced my beating heart
got caught off guard
and when the music faded to noise
I got distracted turned clumsy
went to put the needle back in place
turned and you fit it all away
tucked in between that space where
anxieties are born and fears are made
and the fear of love killed my love that day
looked me in the face
denying any recollection of previous shared space
took back words the universe had already cashed
spent it on dreams of an endless future being caught up in our dance
seconds of romance moments of pleasure quietly stashed
between two heartbeats two minds and two entwined hands
all previously read thought evolve into lessons learned
toss the match so the book, the bridge, and the confession all may burn
and let it be known that I miss you
MISSED you
like my favorite song
hum you every now and then when I forget the words to sing along
never thought the day would come
that you'd no longer caress my palm between index and thumb
the day I'd no longer love you like this and uh like that and uh
the day I'd become the fortunate one
and I miss you
MISSED you
like a call I don't recognize
heard it was hate in your eyes
sealed your disguise and drove you to the lies
the past continuously eluding me driving the tension deep
I am reminded that I need you because I love you
LOVED you
every single moment before I drift off to sleep...
