i feel so alone.
and it's not that i need someone
or anything.
well, yeah 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 now.
i realize that.
i've shut everyone out
until there was no one left.
i know now
that i am human.
that i, too,
need a lover's touch
and kind words;
that i am no different.
that i crave affection.
