I Want To Be Held

Why does this heart aches?
When I try so hard,
To forget and forgive?

There are no tears in my eyes.
But happy though I say I am,
I can't manage a smile.

For hurt rises,
From deep within.
Wrapping itself around me,
Like an old friend.

I'm so tired of fighting.
I'm tired of being asked so many questions.
All I want, is to be held,
With love and care.

For broken people take time to heal.
They may be strong,
But they still feel weak.

Sometimes, or maybe all the time,
I need, arms around that will hold me.

I want to be saved.
I'm not asking for a prince.
Just some kind words.
A hug,
I want to be held.
