The Loneliness inside of me

I long for love and affection.

To be held in someone's arms.

To know that someone truly cares.

I'm starving for affection,

the affection I never got as a child

I want so much to reach out to someone,

and just once, have someone reach back.

Why can't anyone see, the loneliness inside of me.

Is everyone so calloused that

they are blinded to those around them?

Or do I just hide it well?

I need the nourishment that

love and affection provide,

because without it,

I can't survive.
