touch
its essential for life
some need it more than others

i need it to breathe
but it feels like i'm drowning
for i lack the very air i crave

i lack it from friends
i lack it from family
i lack it from the partner ive never had
the partner i fear i will never have

i want but once
once to feel the wrapping of the arms of one i trust around me
i want but one hug

let me be held
let me be cradled
wrap me in a cocoon of warmth and
never
let
go

tell me its alright
tell me you are proud
tell me you love me
no matter what

for i fear i am unlovable
please don't let me be unlovable.

sometimes love is a lot like drowning, and everyone deserves to have their head held above water.
