These Things I Need

These Things I Need

The girl 
The gun 
The rain 
The sun 

The gift 
The choice 
The curse 
The voice 

The cash 
The cost 
The gain 
The loss 

The house 
The home 
The land 
The throne 

The shield 
The blade 
The light 
The shade 

The wound 
The blood 
The sky 
The mud 

The plan 
The time 
The place 
The plot 

Inlove with hate 
Reborn to rot

Excellent write!  The "needs" flow in from one to another from simple needs, to material needs, to violent needs until the needs are sated through hate and its inevitable conclusion.
