The Man You Need by Timothy Edward Kravitz

I see the distance in your gaze,
The love we had, lost in a haze.
But hearts can mend, I’ll show it’s true.
Let me be the man who’s there for you.

I’ll be your calm when storms arise,
The steady hand, the clear blue skies.
I’ll be the strength when you feel weak,
The voice that soothes, the hope you seek.

Don’t close the door, please let me stay,
To prove our love can find its way.
I’ll be the anchor, the light, the creed
Let me be the man you need.

Timothy Edward Kravitz is a South African writer and media creator. He works primarily with language that comes out of lived experience, especially around love, regret, faith, and personal responsibility. His poems often sit in the aftermath of loss, focusing less on resolution and more on the slow work of reflection and change.

He is drawn to themes of spiritual wrestling, emotional accountability, and the tension between longing and acceptance. His writing favors clarity over ornament and sincerity over performance, allowing silence and restraint to carry meaning where explanation falls short.

Outside of poetry, he is involved in long form storytelling and educational media, where he works with ideas of discipline, growth, and honesty over time. These influences shape his poetic voice, which is attentive to structure, pacing, and speaking plainly without avoiding depth.

He writes under a pen name and lives in South Africa.
