silly little girl
wanted everything
and she cried at night
and the hours between
and cared only if she was seen
because then they would pity
the woman she was today
so she ran to the places
by the lake
where only a few learned
to sit and wait
and she opened up
but it was all too late
the options were few
and people could do nothing anyway
the love
all the brilliance of us
it sat in consciousness
that it would not be enough
the shoulders we rub
the hands we touch
they come, they go
only memories remain
and once maybe two times
you find another heart
that burns like yours
in the dark
and rare is it still
if the person is brave
to say what they mean
and mean what they say
goodness how hard was it
to just
hold me
while i wept for what might
have filled of hope and a real friend?
when i find you
i won’t blame you
instead,
i will tell you just love me
and don’t take it back
ever, ever
again
