To Be
Loved
I
despise moments when I become soft
Allowing thoughts to enter my mind
Of wanting
and desiring things
I learned
to squelch through time.
All I ever
wanted was to be loved
Yet true
love has forsaken me.
I've convinced
myself I am happy alone
Until a vulnerable moment creeps up on me.
Oh, to be so
blessed to have someone
In
my daily life with things to share
To feel
someone's arms around me
To find
someone who truly cares.
What I wouldn't
give to be loved again.
The feeling is
so strong right now.
It
is merely a passing phase
I will learn to
control again somehow.
I am only human
to desire things
That I
know others have found
A partner to
share my life with
Someone who will
always be around.
This
is only a vulnerable moment
With strength I
can deny.
It's
only when they come upon me
They make me
break down and cry.
I am strong and
will go on
As I have in
years gone past.
For I know that
love is fleeting
And never
anything to last.
