I Need Not Much
I Need Not Much
I need not much though I tread
Each passing day, some to dread
I need not much to what dismay
I feel a cringe down my back today
I long for touch, and not for bread
I long for your words you left unsaid
But, I need not much of coffee or wine
I feel content from your smile all the time
To say I need not much is understated
For I am a lonely soul that has been jaded
From a false sense of security I received from a youth
I was so far from reality and truth
Now, I long for glimpses from your sapphire eyes
I long for your love that surely never dies
But, I need not much from books or t.v.
I feel your love most when you are with me
Just a caress to the cheek, or a touch to the thigh
A sweet whisper in the ear as the days go by
Just a reminder in the morn of your side turned to mine
As we lay in bed till the later evening time
I need not much, because you have returned to me
That because you're finally here I am merrily
I need not much, just your loving hands on mine
This burning love is filled with your divine
