I need your love

Like an addict needs drugs
Like how violence fuels thugs
Like my lungs scream to breathe in fresh air
Like a train needs it's track
Like a box craves a Jack
Like the sick need an angel who'll care
Like the stars need the sky
To reflect in your eye
It can make me all fuzzy inside
It's a magical thing
Now you're wearing my ring
When we walk hand in hand side by side
When we touch I explode
It's like you cracked the code
And can now pluck the strings of my heart
I can't think for myself
My emotions and health
Suffer greatly when we have to part
Like my blood needs a vein
Like the flowers need rain
Like we all need some help from above
The sun's need is to shine
And I guess you know mine
My one need in this life is your love

At first, I thought your poem felt a little strange as a love poem . . . as if portraying love in a less-than-positive way, more like an addiction than a loving pursuit. Some people love their love to be an intense topsy-turvy experience, like you've described here, but this doesn't seem like real love -- more like love-as-an-addiction. Once I settled on this interpretation, then I began to enjoy your somewhat overly-dramatic expressions & comparisons -- a creative over-the-top way to get your point across!
