Need Less?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Needless to say, I don’t need

When in heart I do,

In essence I do.

But I never have had

Love that didn’t break heart and back.

So needless to say I don’t need

To be promised

A million dreams

And live not one

Or be held in secret

While you search

For what you think you want

Or settle for what you think you need

While holding onto me partially

While setting me free totally

While boasting about your power

To break down hearts .

Needless to say, I don’t need

To feel beauty from your lips

Burning through my veins

As you spiritually put me to sleep

Because you need what you need

Outside of me.

But you need me

To believe that I count ,

To remember that I matter

While you lay with another

And spoon feed me

To hold on.

I don’t need another sad love song

Or another promise long gone

And needless to say

I was wrong

For thinking you would come through

Based on what you said you would do

Needless to say goodbye

When my heart has already died

While you play do or die

With your own soul

Needless to say

But I will say it anyway

I don’t want you any more.

I came waltzing in here as I saw you to be a friend of Orlando; friend of mine. So thought I; lets see.
Need less
Well yes thought I quite possibly... don't we all really?

SUBLIME absolutely sublime and superlative at the same time. Well written piece. The way the words need less have been played out as too the relationship has been played out.

Needless to say, I do love the way you write. Your writing is not enigmatic. You just say what you mean, in the most descriptive ways, conveying so much without being redundant. All these are great positive's in my book! Barbara

There is considered power to this rebuff and the the gentle rhymes and repeats threated through it add to the the power. Not too heavy, not over the top. It suggests you are in control now. 'To break down hearts' is the best line for me.

[Mr. Deft Diction]

Dang, that was venomous. The flow is impeccable, as always.
