he makes me believe in
romance and mush
in red roses and things
as such
i listen to a soppy song
and think how true
not go yuck
like i am known to do
i want to be married
to be his wife
i want to love
and bear his child
and when a sad song
comes my way
i cry my heart out
and rue the day
i let him go
pushed him out
and no matter how
i scream and shout
he is not mine
nor will he ever be
haunting sobering
this reality
lyrics of longing
remind me of him
such need such desire
a marked sin
how can i not have
what i need
i want him
is this just greed.

No. Doesn't seem to be greed. But then, I may not know the whole picture.
ah what if the poem is the whole picture.
then?
Then it is definitely not greed. It is, as you put it, need.
And in that case, the whole picture is not the want. It is him.
Is this a case of unrequited love in the sense he is interested in some else and she is just too greedy to have him at all cost?
it is a poem karthick.
and that means that it is open to every possible interpretation.
