I CANT BE ME

i cant be me
without you
i am a strong woman
but without you
i am just her
that girl
i am not the star
that i've been known to be
when i reflect the light
that you give to me
i need you beside me
for guidance
not to direct me
but to lead me
show me
teach me
hold me
i am not me
without you
you dont complete me
as i came to you complete
but you
just allow me to shine
free
and be me
i can not be ME
without YOU

  1. " but you just allow me to shine "

    this is the most powerful line in the poem. I sensed the deseperation and yearning for the other person.
