Afraid To Need You

You come to me
From near, and far
Many colors
So different
Each with your own
Blessings and baggage
I see your light
It feels good
You reach out
And pull back
Like it's a game
And, I'm afraid
To need any of you
Too much
I need to stay
Self-contained
I'm open
Listening
We can walk together
If you'd like
Talk for hours
But
I don't want
To need you
Compromised
Far too long
Won't tear off
Any more little pieces
Of me
To fit
I'm painting
My own picture
If ever, just once
There was one
Complete already
OK with who I am
But
Would I be able
To let them in?
