Just Someone To Hold

Someone to hold, is that not really your true desire 
seeing the title of this poem, you came to inquire 
subconsciously you need to have, an outlet to deal 
emptiness confines you, refusing to accept it's real 

Closing your eyes, and trying to do your very best 
hoping to get a handle, on the level of your stress 
but your attempts fail, forcing you to admit defeat 
loneliness and depression, pounding your heartbeat 

You speak with your friend, in whom you trust 
seeing you're desperate, she's coming she must 
a half hour passes, standing now by your side 
crying to her your woes, with nothing to hide 

Your chance for true love, how you felt it so close 
naivety and desperation, you took a double dose 
now he is gone, these days seem to pass as years 
a heart so crushed, yielding her flow of wet tears 

What you are left with, a pain so endlessly deep 
there is no escape, but counting sheep in your sleep 
while you paid a price that was ever so steep 
realizing your only friend is the hope you keep 

Tomorrow will yet burn with a special, warm light 
new hope will bring with it a chance to make right 
happiness will yet reign, banning sadness out of sight 
that someone special, forever to hold you tight 

A loving look, accompanying that warm embrace 
a way into his heart, finally finding your true place 
bound with a oneness that only loving hearts could feel 
no longer asking, because you know, you just know it's real
