I needed to be needed, babe, <br />I wish that you could see. <br />I needed to be needed <br />Yet I needed to be free. <br /> <br />I'm not sure how to tell you <br />How I really feel tonight <br />The words are rushing through me <br />They just won't come out right. <br /> <br />I used you as an easy out, <br />for I had to get away. <br />I didn't see it that way then, <br />but I know the truth today. <br /> <br />When I said I'd marry you, <br />I needed some one's love. <br />I thought you really loved me, <br />that God sent you from above. <br /> <br />At one time I thought I loved you, <br />and maybe I still do, <br />But after everything you've said and done, <br />m faith can't be in you. <br /> <br />I don't want you to tell me <br />That your love for her is past, <br />You know as well as I do <br />That that love is going to last. <br /> <br />An end will have to come, <br />Our 'love' will have to cease. <br />From myself my needs are many, <br />From you my need is peace. <br /> <br />I needed to be needed, <br />I wish that you could see <br />I needed to be needed <br />I need now to be free.<br /><br />Jodie Phillips<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/troy-1989/
