morning musings

h u m a n

i just feel so alone
and it's not that i need someone
well, it is
but not someone certain
just someone who will
give me the love,
that i crave,
anyone.
but i haven't been loved,
             for a long time.
and i realize that now.
i shave shut everybody out
until there were nobody left
to love me.
i know now
that i am human
that i, too,
need a lovers touch
and kind words,
that i am no different.
that i crave affection.

i don't like being human.
