The Human Need....


The emptiness in my heart rings loud in echoes.
Silence has occupied every single crevice for years.
Timeless desire to fill the emptiness broadens the gaps.
If not for observing it, I would believe love to be a myth.

Just to have someone occupy my heart would be bliss.
I want to lie side by side on a blanket under a star filled sky.
To know it means something without being told in words.
Reaching over, you take my hand, and my soul begins to warm.

The frost that survived their for years begins to melt away.
Slowly, you turn your head and look deep into my eyes,
and without being told, or hearing a word, I know it means something.
The kindness, warmth and love that is exchanged is electric.

A small squeeze from your hand lets me know love has found me.
My heart begins to feel things it has never known even existed.
No words are spoken and they are not needed, it is just understood.
I never want this to moment to end. If only time could briefly stand still.

I roll over on my side in the attempt to get even closer, and then it happens.
My eyes open, and I come out of what seems like a very dense fog.
Yes, I am on a blanket under a star filled sky, but alone on this blanket am I.
I feel a single tear roll down my cheek. I pull the blanket over me, just me, and cry.
