I Once Needed You

I once physically needed you
To sleep, to eat
You always had to remind me to eat
When you left
I would lay wide awake
And go busily through my day
Surviving on coffee and tears
I never thought I'd make it
One day I began eating sandwiches
I slept with nightmares I didn't like
One day I woke up starving
I fell asleep at 8pm
And didn't remember my dreams
I once needed you
When the need was gone
I learned to take care of myself
