Neediest of All
It's sad to look in mirrors
and see a needy one
a greedy one for two,
to want love more
than anyone
you would ever dare to know.
It's hard to play love's prodigy
without first sowing what we reap
regenerating deep time lust
through eye to eye health share,
when taking care of this one you love
brings co-therapeutic love,
then loving love seen through lover's eyes,
grows love of love ourself.
It's sometimes OK to see oneself
as greedy for prodigious self-esteem,
to know love for more than one ego
you would ever care to grow.
