Halls of the Dark Muse

In Need Of You

I see you from a distance
while looking inward
at myself with accusation
constantly seeking for
a truth I am always evading
something half-shameful
about myself,

while needing you
to be the one that holds me up
I wish to escape responsibility
trapped in imposed limitations
if only you could take charge
of me,

but always even in my
floundering inability
I can give all of myself to you
support you in everything
ease away all your pain,

keep me afloat
in this life and I will
cling on to you
my heart laid at your feet
your needs always presented
before mine within my mind.
