I am needy.

I am needy.

I need your attention

           your presence

           your comfort, consolation

I need to know you're here to stay

                          that you won't run away

I need constant reassurance

I need loving words and kind gestures

I need so much from you

           so much more than I should

I need to know if you can give me what I need

                                            promise to stay

I need you be honest with me

I need you to stay if you can

leave if you must

I need to feel you here tonight

                      like everything is alright

I need to believe I can give you my heart

I need so much more than you know

I need you to know

I need you.

Wrote this quickly...was experimenting with this style again, the one that developed in my other poem, Fear is keeping me awake.
