I Need You

I woke up crying.

I felt like I was dying.

My insides had shut down.

My brain had given up.

It was all because of a dream.

A tiny, unreal dream.

I had dreamt I wasn't good enough.

I dreamt you didn't want me.

You told me quietly, "You said I could leave."

I asked for a reason and you said,

"I needed space but you didn't give it to me."

I woke up and thought it was real.

Honestly I didn't want to deal.

I wanted to end my life right then and there.

You cause me pain without knowing.

I dont blame you, it's my mind that's causing this.

But I need you.

I may sound desperate.

And I may sound clingy.

But honestly, truthfully, I need you.

I love you, this love isn't fake.

I would do anything for you, whatever it would take.

Because I love you.
