Write a poem or short story that contains this line.

Dependence

As I looked into your eyes

I saw my future go up in flames


I knew

I could never be without

You


So I will bend,

Flex,

Turn my life

Upside down

Just so that I can

Be with

You


People tell me

To be

Self dependent

But

How can I

If

I only feel myself with

You


My friends

Tell me

That I’m too clingy

To get a life of my own

But the truth is

I don’t want a life of my own

Without

You


Any dream

Any goal

Crumbles away

As I know

I could never stand

To be alone


Giving up

What I love

What I want

Even what I need

To be with you


And in return?

Tired

Used

Generic

Behaviors


Why must I

Feel the need to give so much

When I get so little

In return?
