im using you, youre using me

i used to believe the works i create
were all me
sometimes i go through times
where i question how i really sleep

when im lost
i toss and turn
when i recognize that living is for living
my dreams take flight

so maybe youre all that i am
that denying is useless
and without you
im useless

but thats always seemed so weak to me
the phrase
"without you, i cant breathe"
just seems like a crutch

rather than a proclamation
of faith
it seems like admitting what im lacking
is someone to hold on to

means that i will always need
someone else to hold on to
but growing up i had no one
no father, no christ

and someone to take care
seemed to far fetched
and being happy
always followed with "do i dare?"
