I didn't know I needed you
Until you put your arms around me and I felt
something move inside me
into a space of
relief
And now I need you
And my neediness scares me
I like to rely on myself
Need for no one
But now you've joined the faces in my head
The ones who've touched my soul
that I've tried to hide so well
Buried beneath facade so
I can be safe.
But there are always a few
who somehow beat their way through
And remain there,
forever
