Is it you I want or me I need?A Poem by Taylor JIs this love, or am I too lonely to see? Is it you I want or me I need? I’ve asked God to lighten my way To open my mind, to shoulder my pain I’m always left with this decision of my own How can I love you but yet feel so alone? What is missing? What am I missing? Love is just a word, a broken promise Because although you say you love me Your actions speak otherwise I have wounds that are still open from before Is it fair to look to you to help me heal? Shouldn’t love heal what’s already been torn? Maybe I just don’t love myself, I look in the mirror And wish to be someone else Younger, prettier, no pain or sorrows Smarter, happier with no regard for tomorrow. Maybe that’s it. I look to your love for validation. I seek attention from you constantly. Which is just a cover up to hide how I feel about me. But when I ask myself I always come up empty. Or am I just too blind to see if it’s actually you I want Or me I need.
