Hold Me

"I want to be held"
I tell you softly

I cling to the people I love
I long for physical comfort
I yearn for a gentle embrace

Sometimes,
I feel starved of touch
And I crave it
And I become desperate for it

"I want to be held"
I repeat,
meeker, softer,
embarassed, ashamed

You don't reply
You can't reply
You aren't here

And that's what sucks the most
