#needs poems on Hello Poetry

Lynn Greyling Dec 2014

I  often  wonder
do  I  need  you
because  of  you,
or  do  I  need  you
because  of  me?

hurt

you will never care
the way I do
you can leave me
when i'm killing myself
from the inside out
when I stay and tell you
every **** time
you made me smile
or my eyes bright
just the way you like them
you leave when I cannot
concentrate on you
when i'm all over the place
but I stay when you're
drunk and high
even though I hate
how you talk and laugh
at things that hurt me
like they're a joke.
long story short,
*you hurt me every **** day

love will lead you back

once lost?
once hurt?
then I decided I would contact you
reveling in thoughts
what am I to say?
what will I say?
what would I say?

I entered your doors prepared to say
but the look on your face
said you needed me not words
how cold I could have been to you?
only to realize that i needed you too

then we sat down to start
where you began
I listened and heard
but your words said more of you
than of me
realizing you were telling me
you needed me
while I needed you

and then there's this (#2)

the smile on your face
as the will of the other breaks
is a spectacle among them,
i'll tell you that much

how i long to be in the place
of such a lovely end,
buried in that feminine touch
overwhelmed by the pain

looking up at tatoos like
a landmark, this land is
marked and i can see you from
many miles away, now

i'm rushing to the grave with
it engraved in my brain,
i will keep the image as i go
ever downward

winter

i seem to always
get the worst when
Christmas is right around
the corner
who knows why
but something about this time of year,
makes me so upset
so angry
so out of control
that i don't know what to do
i can get all the help in the world but
nothing helps
the way i need it to.

cannibal

I yearn for the taste of human flesh

fire tingling the mouth and
the feeling on my lips

mind you, though,
I'm no cannibal

CapitaLies

I laid across from you
and looked into your eyes
and asked you what you wanted
and you said
"to make you happy"
and I believe that it was sincere.
But now I lie alone,
staring at a wall
and I wonder
" am I happy?"
cause you're no longer here.

I Wanna a Man

I Wanna a Man that wants Me
Laying in his bed
Soft curls nestled
just beneath his head
Long legs wrapped
'round Mine
holding me tight
Pulling us down into the
soft nest of night

In His strong soft arms I would lay
Till morning meets the misty break of day.

I Need a Man that loves the way
I smell, taste and breath
Cares for what I want
Considers what I need
Enjoys the way I form my thoughts
Listens to my dreams

I Wish a Man that accepts me
My peculiar ways.
treats like I am precious
In his strong arms I would Lay
Till morning kisses meet
The misty break of day

I Dream of a Man capable
accepting love from Me
Enjoys the way I touch His skin
Knows how Good things can be

Most of all I want a Man
That wants to be loved too
A Man that never
hesitates to say
"Woman, I Love You"

Poetry is Everything

Poetry is everything to me
It's my water that I need to drink
From the Fountain of Emotions
It's the crutch I need when my heart sinks
Without it the world would be less cultured
All I need is you and enough paper to last me through the next leap year
My mind may be busy working on fictional worlds and making them come to life
But you make my world go round and round
You're my Bonny to Bonny and Clyde
Partners in Crime
Except your name is much more beautiful than Bonny
And I couldn't stand a single day separated from you
Unless we still have some way to communicate
That would be my mail in rebate
Where hearing your voice and seeing your messages sinks into my time
Meaning there was never wasted time in that sense

Education

There is a soft cry from the room.
in the center stands a girl.
Challenged.
11 at most
who is drowning in sheets of unnecessary stress, pain, and helplessness.
They call it
education.

In my future, I am planning to teach children with special needs. One thing that I hate the most about the current situation is how cast aside these individuals are.
