Seeking

You wanted to be with me
just to make sure you deserved somebody.
You wanted to be with me
to fight this constant depression
to feel accepted
because you didn’t want to be alone.
I didn’t want such love,
which you were seeking in me.
I don’t want that happiness,
which you’re seeking in me.
I don’t want this support,
which you’re seeking in me.
I don’t want this joy,
which you’re seeking in me.
I don’t want this meaning of life,
which you’re seeking in me.
You need to find yourself first.
