I Write Poems
Unsatisfied Longing
I have this wanting in my heart and confusion in my mind.
The words I’ve left unspoken haunt me all the time.
There are nights I wake crying when I wish that you were near.
To hold me in your arms and kiss away this tear.
Right now my heart is deep and black-blacker than coal.
So I go on day after day with emptiness in my soul.
There is something that keeps me holding on although what I’ll never know.
Someday I won’t be afraid anymore and I’ll admit that I need you so.
