Needing

Walking,
as you do over me . . .
Falling,
as I do over you . . .

I forget what life is about
when I am with you.
I don't remember the time passing,
only the tears falling.
I count every second by every drop,
and I measure your love
by the empty spot next to me.

Constant giving,
constant hiding--
maybe this time it will work.

Maybe this time you won't
bruise me
with your words.
Maybe this time you won't
force me
to side with you.
You're so weak,
you're so strong,
I never know how to perceive you.
What do you hide beneath that sneer--
is it possible that you could care?

I look to you for all my hope,
I look to you for all my dreams,
I look to you for what I want,
I need you here with me.

Don't turn this away,
look at me swallowing it all down,
wanting your attention,
wanting your acceptance,
wanting your . . . love?
Back home!
