Poetry: Just hold me

by Charli Charles

Created on: April 09, 2011

I feel alone...
discarded by the world I trusted with my all.
Broken by the promises I made, myself.
I feel alone, I need you... I need you here, right now, right here.

To feel your willowy warmth surround me,
your strong, masculine arms wrapped around
my fragile weak body.
To feel you seeping through the faults of my broken heart.

And to hear you say my name.
Just a word and I am your slave.
A kiss from your lips to engulf me, protect me, shield me;
from the pain I feel inside.

I am weak. I am a young mare seeking for the warmth of a stallion.
I am a feeble woman, passionate for the man I could never own.
I am a slave, awaiting the command of her master.
I am the face of thy reflection, O my Lord.

And so in my helpless state,
I pick up the phone and dial
hoping you will come to me. Hoping you will save me, hoping you will rescue me
All I need is the nectar that you only provide, all I need is you.

It seems like eternity as I listen to the interval phone ringings
I hear your voice and it sends my blood rushing from my crazed mind.
I struggle for words hoping you will be patient with my lack of understanding,
All I ask is that you embrace me, hold me, just love me for another time.
