AnAttachment

i love you and you know i would do anything for
you and it kills me that i know you wouldn't do
the same for me.

you’re all i have 
please don’t leave me 

i hate you for this 
i hate that you’re the only thing keeping me alive
when whether i’m alive or not
truly means nothing in your universe
that i yearn to be a part of

your universe;
that which i crave to be 
the dark night sky that scares you when you’re alone

the stars you smile at because they’re so beautiful
 
the moon that make you feel safe under that same dark sky

i want you to need me 
as much as i need you 

realising i’m nothing more than another person to you 
kills me 
i want it to kill you
it’s killing me 

i want you to need me 
i need you to want me 

not of my own accord, don’t flatter yourself
