Need

Need...
Is defined by the mind based on how badly
we want....
what we think we need
as desire begins to feed on the sanity
and vanity of those that would fall pray to
Needs calling...
as defenses are falling
unable to break free...
from the Need
The Need to be heard
or felt or touched
the need to be absorbed dissovled
Or expanded...
Sometimes... I simply cant stand it
when Need comes to visit me
For when it does I simply cant breathe
and my thoughts are not my own
As I become one owned by a nagging
Inner dragging like nails over a chalk board
I melt with hot sweats ....and cold chills
as I am invoked .... and provoked beyond
My will....by the Need.
To be had...held...understood.
not over looked or berated
But to be completely saturated in
every good thing...
I have the need to be soothed from life's sting
I need to forget,instead of always remembering
I Need.... to know that the fifth dimension
wont swallow me whole... when I close my eyes
I need to know that the Right arms will be there
to stifle my cries.....
Alas... I am human...and wish with the last molecule
In my very being that I didnt have a need...
to need...
For need is the very air I breathe..
Need ... gives me cause to be
I only exsist....
Because...I need to see
what the end of this Needful Life
Will be.
