Need (2008) in meh...

I need you.
Not NEED YOU,
but I need you.
Cut me open,
look inside,
all you’ll see is you.
I bleed you.
I am you.
Without you,
I don’t know what I’d do.
Cuz you,
see
right through the heart of me.
You’re the start of my lyrics.
You’re a part of me.
And damn how I dig our
commonality,
and damn without you,
there is no we.
You complete me, & I,
complete we.
There’s no place I’d rather be
than
hopelessly,
carelessly,
affectionately,
daringly
wrapped up in the throes of we.
Cuz see,
I need you.
Not NEED you,
but I need you.
Stick me with a pen and
watch my fingers bleed you.
Stick me with a pen and
watch my fingers bleed you.
bleed you…
bleed you…
bleed you…

originally written as a spoken word piece that I never spoke because this was my naked soul on display and I don’t want nobody seeing me like this in public
