needs

she's there again
in the back of my mind
waiting, lurking, adapting to my mood
it swings up and across like a pendulum
where have I been this entire time?
has the dream world engulfed me?
am i out of time?
tell me oh being of this realm
or lord of yours
i can't take much longer
i need release
i need excitement
i need answers
needsneedsneeds is all we ask for
our cells change every 7 years
and for what
to wake up on the couch with a potbelly
hairs of gray
teeth yellow and frail and shattered
ask us what we need
we might just tell you
