THE ONLY WISH

21 4 2
                                    

I only want to sleep on someone's lap
Have them caress my hair gently
And I will cry harder with their soft touch.

I only wish to weep this sadnesses out
One hour, one day, ten days...
I want to cry out my last bits of sadness on that very lap.

Just don't ask me why are there tears in my eyes?
I wouldn't tell.
Just don't act too worried
I wouldn't be able to lie.

Just don't do anything
Anything but fondling my hair...
Let me feel the presence of a person
I'm tired of weeping alone.

-Laxmi Bhargavi Golla
