Reach For Me

Lost in emotions,
this heart seems to be . .
endless moments,
a burst of illusions

It is hard to breathe,
eyes cannot clearly see
will you reach for me,
deeply and honestly reach for me?


I am aching to be,
everything you need
when you come to me,
after you reach,
truly reach for all that is me


The longing that hibernates inside,
this sweet tenderness . .
not even my heart can deny,
cannot secretly hide

When breathing becomes too hard for me,
and eyes wish to always see,
when needing someone like you
. . is all my being seems to do

Will you reach for me,
deeply and honestly reach for me?


I am aching to be,
everything you need
the moment you say, you need me too . .
when you truly reach for all that is me


Lost in emotions,
this heart seems to be
. . against the wind
words I send,
they are set free . .


Alone and waiting,
still anticipating
this reality,
or perhaps a dream,
because sometimes
. . eyes fail to clearly see


I am aching to be,
everything you need
. . when you come to me
after you reach,
truly reach for all that is me . .


Will you reach for me,
deeply and honestly reach for me?

I am aching to be,
everything you need
. . when you come to me

~ That sweet ache never leaves ~


Author's Note -
' The reason ' was born, yet these lyrics truly desired to be first.
After allowing them to linger for longer, I can understand why.

Good morning to you. I enjoyed reading this piece today. If I were a teacher and you a student I believe your next poetry assignment would be to write one using your line "That sweet ache never leaves" as the title and body. Keep up the great work young lady! TAH
