Seeking Love
Standing short, amidst the tall and grandeur
Smiling, alone, still, strong and bare
Still here for those that need someone to care
Whatever I have, is for all to share
No ray of sunshine passes down on me
Have left them for you to shine in with glee
Am used to the dark passages of time
I lighten up my spirit with a saddened smile
No shower of soothing rain drops in my fate
Left them for you to soak in, rejuvenate
Am used to being left high and dry
I quench my thirst with my tearful eye
No swift breeze comes across my face
Left it for your skin to feel and embrace
Am used to breathe the stagnant air
I gasp between the sighs my heart bears
Scared am I, about my thoughts too deep
Hopes and desires, I do put to sleep
Can’t always think about my wants or needs
Just someone to love me back indeed
Love doesn’t create insecurity or dependency
It’s an unbalanced equation of chemistry
It isn’t wrong to hope or to expect
To seek love, to be loved, to connect
