~~What Does This Mean?~~

“Never let me go.”

Such simple words, meant to convey a feeling—

Dependency, pure and true

Like an addiction

“I can’t live without you.”

Such foolish words!

But I can’t stop saying them

“I need you.”

What about me

Makes you require me so?

Is it my eyes?

My voice?

My gentleness?

My cuteness?

What do you WANT?

What do you NEED?

Does anyone know?

Does anyone even think it matters?

Requirements, false desires, adorations good and bad

Declarations

Promises

What does this mean?

I whimper—do you hear it?

I scream—do you cause it?

I beg—do you answer it?

Shattering, tempting, annihilating, adoring

Causing sincere dependency

Unable….

Unable to fight

To win

To choose

To live

Unable to be anything

Anything but yours

I can’t take this

But I can’t NOT be this way

I’m so sickened

So sweet

So false

And…And you just don’t care

As long as I am with you

You’re okay

Stop me though

Stop me baby

I’m dying inside

Don’t you see?

Kept hidden

Kept…Sheltered

Sheltered so close to you

All I can hear is your heartbeat

All I can smell is your skin

All I can see is your smile

I can’t breathe without

Breathing you in

I can’t move my legs—they lie

Trapped beneath yours

Only one arm remains free

And I can’t reach past you

But that’s okay

I know you’re here

And I know I’m with you

I can lie close

Shiver, and tremble

Goosebumps raised permanently upon my arms

Your breath is like a ghost, drifting

Slipping warmly across bare skin

I bathe in your smell

Dance in the light of your eyes

What makes me need you?

What makes you need me?

What needs do you fulfill

By hugging me tight?

What needs do I fulfill

By glorying in the sound

Of your heartbeat?
