yearning

You said you’d be there if I needed you,

You said you knew each breath and pore;

Why then are you so distant

Now that I need you ever more?

I’m hurting beyond belief,

And no one I want to turn to…

I can’t suffer in silence anymore

Can’t you see that I need you?

You- a blunt ache in my heart

To which only you are the cure;

Addictive as narcotics you are,

You leave me begging for more.

Don’t you hear my silent pleas

Or is my silence finally dead?

You so willingly to cut my voice;

But love, has everything been said?

I’m powerless when I’m with you,

And lifeless when I’m not…

You - my conviction,

You’re all the love I’ve got.

Do you hear me now?

Now that I’m bleeding out;

I need you oh so much,

I need you without a doubt.
