Conciliate

wants i grasped firmly when branches held crisping leaves
still linger...
part of me remains green as the leaves 
this unexpected spring coax out of trees' limbs --
part of me wants to be entranced by you.
that road leads to a cliff
and neither of us cares to make the ultimate sacrifice for something so petty.
i need to extinguish the want inside,
a spark i've allowed to burn for far too long.


it's time to conciliate my wants and needs.
i want to be needed.
i need to be wanted.
he can fill me like no one can.
with the tangible and that which remains unseen.
if i remember nothing else,
i need just remember
my wants and needs are him alone.
