I Need

Though I know it will get better eventually, I'm finding it hard these days.

a rain to wash away this terrible pain,
someone who'll wrack their brains and find a way to drive me sane.



I need

to cry, to feel inside its not just I that knows why I feel so lost,
someone to say it'll be okay another day,
that its alright and musn't fight the cries, must
let them out, and too will shout
of all the lies and meaningless goodbyes,
of all the doubt
and undeserving trust,
how no expression seems enough.



I need

for you to see I'm blue and feel it too,
know why I nearly can't speak.

For when I do your silence bleak makes my hopes few
of abilities to tweak either of our hearts.


Then out I freak, now nothing new.



I need

the sun to rise, to brighten my fading mind,
to lighten the eyes of my soul
and give control over this chaotic enterprise,
to warm the cold of these times.




I need
a brain to soak up this terrible rain,
for you to admit you're worsening my pain.

"drive me sane". I like that line. Nice twist and play on words.

This is a heartfelt and sad poem. The repetitive "I need" adds to the urgency of the need for emotional freedom. Nice work.
