In the Commotion



In the commotion
I was fighting for your attention;
want me
crave me
need me
save me
forgive me
trust me
don't quit on us, this is it!

Don't just desire me
to hold-
You have...me...
I'm here; hello dear

Imperfect but learning...
Tip toeing and yearning....

I make excuses when I'm hurting,
come at me softly
come at me sweetly
be kind and virtuous please
for peace
for comfort
to escape the disinterest
the undesired outcome
the commotion.
Floating.

Floating.

Going, going....gone.
