Consumed by you
Every single thought
And every single breath
Cannot concentrate
To cheat this death

Overwhelmed with this
Feeling for you
And desire to speak
Of it all so much
In which I seek

Blurred in eye
Of vision I see
Reminded always how
Of the want inside,
Wanting you now

Confused by the choice
With the want
And the need
All the same I think:
To want is to need

I like the poem but disagree with the sentiment, sometimes to want is merely to want and survival is possible without receiving, however to need is to need and sometimes what we need is not necessarily what we want.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown
