NEED
 
Need.
A greed
To feed
On my own emotions?
Intellectual potions?
Enough to fuel the fire
Of desire?
To be with you.
To share.
To care.
To stare
At you
And wonder.
To ponder
The consequence
Of letting go.
Or to show
How I truly feel
And reel
Under its weight.
Too late !
Fate has cast a spell.
I feel it welling.
Telling in my
Every thought
I ought
Dispel it like
And unwanted dream.
Its not the scheme
For sanity.
A sad profanity
Of life.
A formula for strife?
