Need

Random

Postponed needs
Reality, it cuts through every dream
Every waking moment is blank
Vacant thoughts dance across wandering eyes
A silent consolation
I understand, I always do
The emptiness that has settled on me
The restlessness becoming the dreaded immobility
Of body as well as of thoughts
My memories are consumed
My hopes are exhausted
Sometimes I wish I didn't need you at all.

A personal poem.

This is so powerful because I feel like it truly is being shared from your heart and soul.. I honor that in you because these feelings take us so deep that we sometimes wonder if we can ever escape the hold someone else has over us. I balance the good and the bad.. Is it worth it on those miserable days to hold on? or Is it time to move on and honor your spirit..your heart..xo Well written..x

You paint a depressed picture rather vividly here. Sad and touching at the same time. Wonderful piece.

Sometimes I wish I didn't need you at all.......definitely key in this heart-touching piece. Well expressed.

"My memories are consumed
My hopes are exhausted
Sometimes I wish I didn't need you at all."

This is a segment in life that really does cut one deep and sometimes afflicts the soul with plaguing images that haunt every day and night.

Its hard for a woman to tell another that she needs her. However some exceptions to this may be made for the mother. Nice write!

So if you didnt "need" whatever person you're talking about, then there would be no emptiness or restlessness? I loved this poem, short but powerful. Emotions were pouring out of each word.
