NEED


I need you
not like the forest needs rain
or ice cream needs milk,
or like national socialism needs a scapegoat.


I need you differently.
I need you desperately.
I need you absolutely,
like krill needs a whale
or a planet needs a sun.
I need you to complete myself.


I need you so I make sense,
so I can finish my meals
so I can function.


I need you absolutely.
I need you desperately.
I need you addictively.
I need you because without you,
I am different.
I am diminished.
I am distracted,
dirty, darkly depressed.


I need you to fix me.
I need you to finish me.
I need you. I wish I didn't,
but you can't always get what you want.
