Someone Who Needs Me

-Someone Who Needs Me-
by Keaton Foster


Someone who needs me
There a person who deeply cares
A stranger that managed to love me
Something no one could do before
Something that no one has done since
She must be a blessing from God above
What could I ever have done
To deserve a person such as her
Before her my life was so unfair
Than it became the best of everything
Everywhere that I went
Every word that I spent
I would do my best to confess
How it is she made me feel
Often I would fail
But not because of any lack of effort
But because what her and I had
Cannot be put into any terms
Cannot be described by pen and page
Once she boldly stood
She showed me she cared
She stood up for us
She would proclaim
That I was her one true man
She would tell the tale of us
To anyone who would lend an ear
Someone who needs me
Is how I would often describe her
I was proud of her and myself
I was able to do something right
I was capable of loving her
With every bit of my heart and soul
Before her all of that was not the case
Before her I was shattered in pieces
An emotional wreck
Back then I was sure that I
Would never be able to love another
That I would not find meaning or purpose
That I would just drift alone in the darkness
Of all that had ever happened to me
So sure that I had all but given up
Of course then I met her
Of course everything impossible
Quickly became all too possible
I was saved by her and by our love
I was brought out of the darkness
Thrown into the light of our world
For many years I enjoyed the warmth
For many years I was truly happy
I was sure that it would never end
How could it
But sadly end it indeed did
She no longer needs me
Because she is no longer alive
And the dead need the living
Least of all…
