The Difference Between Needs & Wants

I don't NEED a King to be a Queen

I don't NEED a man beside...... or inside me

I don't NEED your lies upon lies to feel loved

I don't NEED your gentle touch to take me up above

I don't NEED your forgetful promises to help me along the way

I don't NEED your reassurance that you'll always stay

I don't NEED your bullshit words to help me cope

I don't NEED you....and illusion.... to give me hope

I wanted you because I loved the sexy words that you said

But I don't NEED you because those words are just messing up my head

I wanted you because your sensual kiss set everything at ease

But in life your wants just don't compare to your needs

I don't NEED you in my life to be hot

What I NEED is everything your not

There's no reason to hold on to you; there's no reason to stall

Because a love that tears you down ain't really love at all

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
