Necessity

Your love was never the necessity,

I never saw it before.

The love you had for me

I never wanted something more.

My love was the necessity, not yours

Once I learned to love myself

I saw past your lies of smoke.

I didn't see it before

my head was submerged

In the lies you told

Finally, I can see it clearly now

like I didn't see it ever before.

My love for you

wasn't for me, you just wanted more.
