You'Re Better Without Me

You don’t need me, you need her,
though you think
the other way around,
deceived by my eyes, my hands:
the warm glow of my gaze,
the soft skin.
The kind gentle voice
consoling you 
in your darkest times

But you need her,
who has a rock solid ego,
who is not afraid 
to swim with you in deep water,
for she will rise up 
no matter how many times 
she has been pushed down.
Her arms are strong 
to lift you when you're drowning,
her feet rough for walking
