The Poetic Idiot

Need You

Need You

Based upon Figure 8 by Ellie Goulding

You’re like a drug that has no cure,

For though we can’t agree,

I fell for you, of this I’m sure,

Without you I can’t see.

I dare not live without your voice,

It hurts my ears to try,

You still guide my every choice,

I care not if I die.

You’ve pierced my heart and left a scar,

An emptiness that stings,

I’d chase you through eternity,

Your name my lips still sing.

Once upon a lovely time,

You promised every day,

But then you left me with my mind,

And took the rest away.

Yet still I love, and I’ll hold on,

To everything in sight,

These memories cannot be wrong,

I need you in my life.
