What You Need

A Poem by Michael Phillips
"

Another reject from Jack

"
                                               He is what you want
                                               I am what you need
                                               He is what you want
                                               I am what you feed
                                               He is what you want
                                               The signs I can read
                                               He is what you want
                                               I am what you bleed
                                               He is what you want
                                               I want to make a seed
                                               He is what you want
                                               I will no longer plead

It's never easy to see the ones we want to after the wrong people. When in our hearts, we feel that the deserve us, would be more happy with us. We want to tell him that we could be right ones to never hurt them, to always be there and love them, but would the think us crazy? Sometimes, we must trust our instincts and dive into pouring out our feelings and just seeing how things turn out.

Yes, I like the poem. It speaks truthfully of somebody in a relationship where another is desired, but still living with individual despite knowing the situation. Well phrased.

Very Great Poem! Well written too. It sounds to me like You know You Just Might be the One. It is if You are stating That this Girl Truly Loves You. I enjoyed this Poem. It was Rhythmatic also

Thank you very much but me personally I like trilogy better but you might disagree....
we often don't appreciate what is right in front of us...we always want more...

but often times that elusive one turns out to be a disappointment....and when we turn around...the one who really loved us is gone.

as sheryl crow sang "it's not needing what you want, it's wanting what you've got"

bravo on this piece.
the repetition of that line really gives this perfect symmetry.

A tight structure often leaves little for imagination, but I thought this was eloquently executed. Well done :)

I think is unique, and wonderfully written. It shows that what we want overpowers everything else! Even if it's what is best for us. Good job!

I feel this as I have lived this - the shoulder to cry on only to watch women I know go back to abuse, boys who don't appreciate them and the such. I've long wondered if I should put my paladin ways to bed as they have not served me too well over time.
