You are a need

I know that now

 

I mapped every inch

Of this convoluted

Fucked up life

 

Need or want

Need or want

 

Can I go without you?

 

I curl up with your shirt

To warm for wear, 

But unable to let go

 

The world is still

 

There is a point in exhaustion

Where you reach calm 

 

Self actualization

Or sleep deprivation

Who knows

 

Does it matter? 

 

You are a need

I know that now

I cannot exist without you

 

Unwilling or unable

It comes out in the wash 

 

I know why nation's war

Why elopers run

And why we leap

 

Love

 

It's not about

If it's worth the fall

It's when you can't help 

but leap
