She sought balance
In her movements and her actions
But had felt dissatisfied.
She had been wanting someone to hold,
To hold her.
Empty actions, drunken nights
Were not enough
Anymore.
She had been telling herself for so long
That she deserved nothing
That she only needed to focus on her studies,
On her friends.
But the place between her legs ached
With longing.
She was lonely,
Ever so.
When she went to bed
She curled up to take up
The smallest space she could.
She listened to songs that told her
She was enough on her own
But still, she wanted more.
She had met him a year ago
And then suddenly,
Unexpectedly,
As the winter froze the city,
He was there.
He wasn't what she wanted
But she wanted him all the same.
