i really need you now

i never knew you were watching

when i was at the bottom struggling

i always thought i was dead alone

hidden within my inner geode

but then you spoke through my buff

and you searched through my stuff

and you told me how much you care

while all i did was stare

i was amazed at the depth of your heart

it was wrong to feel alone from the start

please know i'm sorry

please know i'm in no hurry

i want to make things right again

and not shrug back to my lonely refrain

i want to make things right again

and not shrug back to my lonely refrain

i want to walk alongside you

treading the sidewalk meant for two

i want to talk to you in all moments

i crave your ears to hear my frequent laments

we both know, on my own, i'm filthily guilty

but in your arms i'm joyfully wealthy

so this time, i'm asking, i really need you now

this time i promise i won't push away your plough

About the Creator

poetryinwaiting

I love all things writing...though I am particularly biased towards good, vulnerable poetry. I love pouring my heart on a page with every piece I write. Life is for expressing, not containing.
