Wants

The echoes of loneliness rebound off my tears.
A deep loneliness now embedded into my daily thoughts, my actions.
I exhale parts of my soul.
Useless snippets, fragments, pieces of bitterness locked up inside.
A long sorrowful exhale that rocks my body to the bones.
A long sigh releases feelings of deeply seeded resentment over losses
Occured fighting battles that once promises victory.
Battles for love.
Battles to be held up on a pedestal...
Put above and beyond all others.
Wanting to be a priority.
Wanting to be the world to someone.
Just wanting.
