Poem: I Need You

There aren't many times when I think I HAVE to write a poem or I NEED to write a poem but this was one of those times when I just HAD to get to a pen and some paper asap...

I need you here
to make me see so much
and to let me know
that this darkness will fade
and soon beauty will come
through the light in your eyes.

I need you to tell me
the words that you know
so well and you have
said so many times
which reassure me
from myself.

I need you by my side
so that I can remember
that even though I have seen
the evil in the world
and the hatred in the hearts
of so many
that there are
good
kind
and loving people
still alive.

But you see, I don't know
who you are?
or where you are?
or why you are hiding from me?
I just know that I need you right now
and you are no where to be seen.
