I NEED YOU

Love is Eternal

When the Sun sets and skies go black: 

"I need you." 

When the tides change and no one has my back: 

"I need you." 

When joy is frozen by life's bitter cold: 

"I need you." 

When love is lost and lust is bold: 

"I need you." 

When every day becomes a losing fight: 

"I need you." 

Your soft whisper that said "It's alright" 

"I need you." 

I sit here in tears lost and alone 
Placing flowers on your cold grave stone 
Whispering softly: “I need you."

I wrote this poem a few years ago and just found it. It is a very simple poem. I posted it because it has a good message.

A nice, quick, easily equated, eccentric and clever enough to spark a few thought trains.

I have been in that sad space that you describe before, there's no pain like wanting to share one last breath with someone you love and knowing that you can't anymore.. thank you for sharing this.

Beautiful simplicity

This is lovely because it's simple... I don't think you could have wrote it any better - adding more may have taken away from the feeling. Good piece here!
