I don't need you
I don’t need you
I don’t
It took me 8 long months
But it’s true
I don’t need your smile or your laugh
I don’t need your hand tangled in mine
I don’t need your lips pressed softly against mine in the glow of a hallway light
I don’t
But I want it
I want to laugh a real laugh
To speak with real words
To feel with real feelings
But mostly to love with real love
But I don’t need you
I can learn to feel real on my own
And I will
Something wrong with this poem?

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
