I Need You Not

I need you to blame me
because I am the one you hate
and I need you to shame me
because I made a mistake

I need you to let it out
till I see the steam in your cheeks
so I can conquest all the reasons
why we aren't meant to be

but what I don't need is you
not saying it to my face,
I don't need you
not if you are this way

I didn't fall in love with the arrogance
and the selfishly involved
I did not ask you
to send flowers and perfectly
pitched thoughts

I told you how I felt
more than I should
and you answer with a half hearted
"could"

I could be good enough
I could be fair
I could be this
I could be there

but I'm more than enough
I'm always fair
I made myself 'this'
I was always there

So I'll watch you
say it from afar
and blame me for your
very own scars

but I won't be there

I'll make it loud and clear
I need a lot of things
that are enough
I'll make the empty glass
a full striven cup

but as soon as you make me empty
gone will be with you,
cause' I finally know
what I will
and will not
be put through
