To Be Desired

You were wanted, never needed

By Fatema SiddikiPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I never needed you,

I never needed you,

Like the ocean needs the waves to feel powerful,

I never needed you,

I never needed you,

Like the sun needs the heat to be terrifying,

I never needed you,

I never needed you,

like the moon needs darkness to be beautiful,

I never needed you,

I never needed you,

like the paper needs ink to be meaningful.

I never needed you,

I never needed you,

Like the flower needs rain to turn into different shades of colour

I never needed you,

I was a whole before you came, I am whole after you left

You were desired... never needed,

Never needed, always wanted
