The Unnecessary Necessity

I need it

that desire

that incentive

that derogatory moment

that stereotypical lie

But what is it that I need?

I'm a bottle of Febreze

Used to sugar coat your indifferences

I'm that fourth bite

when it only took three

But When you speak of me,

does your pride linger?

Do I dangle between intertwined fingers?

Am I your untold story,

Or am I your recited creed?

Do I make you lose your breath,

or am I just wasted air?

Nevertheless, I continue

you play me like a movie

Can't go back to the menu

so I'm stuck right here

on this never ending venue.

Shut my mouth?

Me? Who?

What about you?

I'm not gonna wait on a precise queue

I didn't shatter your dreams,

you tore mine at the seams.

This isn't my impromptu,

you make my decisions for me,

You.

But Wait I forgot!

What do I need?

I need the intensity

Untold succession,

Yesterday's recession,

Tomorrow's progression.

You smirk

I smile

at least now then,

that pitiful moment is my last token.

No! Forget that!

Forget self pity!

Forget this joke!

And remember regret!

Refrain, Pain

Tomorrow's forgiveness

Shame, Fame

Yesterday's lie

Lost not found

repetition of sound

I stand for this,

for me, for you,

for...what?

What do I need?

I guess that's always been up to you.
