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?
