Do I need you?

a poem by S. S.

Though you sit next to me, everyday
I can’t see you, I do feel you,
Sometimes I do caress you,
But then most of the time,
I keep staring at you.

I keep thinking about you- all day
How you are? Who you are?
At last I mess up everything
that’s how my days are passing.

I wonder why you exist in me,
Dragging me towards insecurity,
The pain I often bear
And depression that always haunts.

I wish to be away from you
Start a new life- only for me
Live it travelling all alone
At least away from anxiety.

I know the cloud will never vanish
For you live somewhere in me
And I sought shelter in you
So sometimes I do need you,
Atleast for your abstract company.
