Array ( [sid] => 8250 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => What I Need [time] => 2002-12-08 16:30:00 [hometext] => For Greg. [bodytext] => I sit and cry here in the dark
Because of how you're hurting me
Silent tears fall every hour
Why don't you try to be with me?

It's not too much to ask of you
A little time spent in your light
A telephone call now and then
Oh, what I would do if you'd come home

What you say doesn't mean a thing
When what you do makes it untrue
Well, I'm not getting what I need
From you - what the hell are you thinking?

Leaving me here is just not fair
I wish I could get through to you
If I give you what you give me
Maybe you'll see the way I feel

This is about being human
Yes, my love, I have a heart, and
It's wavering in an unsafe place
Keep this up, and damn, I'll break

***** if I'll sit back and let you go
Remember me? Yes, I need you
Clearly I just don't mean enough
For me to love you is not enough

I need you to talk to me now
I can't believe you didn't call
Don't I mean a goddamn thing?
It's been so long but you're not trying

Say you care and I'll laugh out loud
'Cause what you don't do says it all
So you better damn well learn
That I need to see a little effort

If you think this is fine with me
You need to turn yourself around
'Cause your vision's upside down and backwards
Go on, show me what I mean to you [comments] => 1 [counter] => 185 [topic] => 48 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
What I Need

Sweetie, I'm sorry to say this, cause I know you still care about him, and you may agree, but I just need to say, he's not worth it. He doesn't take into consideration your feelings. He needs to know that. You've already given him two chances, and I think you should stop trying if he doesn't care to try himself.

Love always,
Em
