“What do you need?”

“Is there anything I can do for you?”

“What do you need?”

“Are you okay?”

“What do you need?”

What I need is impossible
There’s no use voicing it

“Is there anything I can do for you?”

I don’t know
I don’t know anymore
I don’t even know who would know
I don’t know how to even try to figure out
I don’t know

“What do you need?”

What I need cannot be picked up at the store
This is not a situation where a bandaid will help

“Are you okay?”

I have no idea
It changes from hour to hour
I’ve never seen myself like this
I have never been in something like this
I have no idea

“What do you need?”

I need brothers
Maybe that was why I dreamed
Of working in a restaurant two nights ago
I need brothers in arms
I need closeness
I need arms around my shoulders
I need the reassurance
That I can be exactly who I am
And exactly where I am
And there is nothing I need do

I need my brothers back
