Is it you I want or me I need?

Is it you I want or me I need?

A Poem by Taylor J

Is this love, or am I too lonely to see?
Is it you I want or me I need? 
I’ve asked God to lighten my way
To open my mind, to shoulder my pain
I’m always left with this decision of my own
How can I love you but yet feel so alone? 
What is missing? What am I missing? 
Love is just a word, a broken promise
Because although you say you love me 
Your actions speak otherwise
I have wounds that are still open from before 
Is it fair to look to you to help me heal? 
Shouldn’t love heal what’s already been torn? 
Maybe I just don’t love myself, I look in the mirror 
And wish to be someone else
Younger, prettier, no pain or sorrows
Smarter, happier with no regard for tomorrow. 
Maybe that’s it. I look to your love for validation. 
I seek attention from you constantly. 
Which is just a cover up to hide how I feel about me. 
But when I ask myself I always come up empty. 
Or am I just too blind to see if it’s actually you I want 
Or me I need.
