I'm Not Needy, I Just Need You To See Me

Sometimes I wish you understood

how I feel and why I

react the way I do.

Maybe if you paid attention

and started listening

attentively

you’d be able to figure out

how your words and

silence slice right through me.

My heart needs a

temporary crutch,

and I’m sorry for all that

the broken parts may cut,

but I’m drowning in this

quicksand

and I’m begging you not

to leave me stranded.

Show me that you’re willing

to give me what I need,

and I promise I won’t

take you for granted.

You’ve promised me

that you’ll be better

and I hope that you wont

let me down.

I’m holding on to your

words for dear life

and I refuse to give up

and turn around.

I’ve managed to be wrong

about a lot of things

in my past

but this right here,

you and me,

is something

I know can last.

So all I ask

is that you

show me that

you’re willing to

give me what I need

and ill treat you

like a king.

I’m sure that when you

meet my needs,

I won’t need them anymore

and all my walls will fall,

and I’ll finally let you in.

So, show me that you’re willing

to give me what I need

and I promise I’ll treat you

like a king.
