I want you to hold me,
Caress me with your words.
I feel as if my silent pleas
often go unheard.
I know life's rough,
And I know you're scared.
And I know that you feel lost.
But you'll never have to ask for love
No matter the mood,
Or cost.
The distance spanning between us,
The quietness coating the air,
Sometimes I wonder if I'm speaking to myself,
Or if you're actually there.
I'm here for you,
I've been here forever.
Enough to surely suffice.
But sometimes I need just a little sun
To melt your frozen
ice.
Your words are lacking empathy,
I wonder who broke your wings.
I want to glue them up once again,
but I'm shit at fixing things.
I try so hard to be all you need,
But it's hard when you're all numb.
How is it that after I try so much,
I'm still left here feeling dumb?
I love you, more than air
Or water, or fire.
But you have to show an equal amount
To prove I'm still what you desire.
-S
