Need

Written on October 10, 2006

I need not to love you
for I’ve loved you and I still do
what I need is to trust you
for I’ve trusted you and I don’t anymore

 

I need not you to just have fun with me
for we’ve had fun and I really cherish those moments
what I need is to know you
for I don’t know who you really are

 

I need not you to call me everyday
for you did and it made me happy
what I need is to tell me where you are now
for you don’t even care how I feel today

 

I need to trust you
and not just to love you
and I blame my loneliness
for I am trapped there

Another very powerful and sad poem. And it is so true, so true. Love and trust aren't the samething. And it all goes back to the loneliness. Can we ever really feel trust and not alone with someone? Your poems are emotionally powerful. I like that.

I feel like, without knowing me, you have completely summed up how I sometimes feel in my marriage. You simply lay out the needs, the give and take, the common sense.

There is so much wisdom here....splashed with longing, loss, and unanswered questions. I love the way the words dance togther without touching, but only wishing to touch. Very nice.

A bit cliche, but the overall message is delivered.
