Forever letting
people treat me
like I'm inadequate.
I don't feel right
in this skin.
Megan Grace Jul 2013
You only want
what you want
and I can only
give you what
you allow me.
But, god, I
have so much
more to offer.

Your heart is so genuine but
I feel like you aren't letting it
talk as much as much as it
needs to. I wasn't ready for
the sensitivity training that
comes with knowing your
insides but I like it and I
know I touch you a lot but
that's only because sometimes
I need to remember that I have
you. So please stop burrowing
into your blanket and come
burrow into me instead. I
promise I'm warmer and I
promise I smell better (although
your side of the bed is a
smell I could stay in forever)
and I swear I'll rub those
little circles into your hand
the way you like. Just please
let me be near you.

I don't need you to love me
I just need you to make
me feel less temporary.

The other
night I was
                                        greedy
              ­                          selfish
                               ­         muddled
and I didn't know
how to say
                                       "I need you
                                        wrapped
             ­                           around me
                                        because I've
                                        been having
                                        trouble sleeping
                                        without you."
in a way that
wasn't desperate.
But desperate is
                                        what I was
                                        what I am
                                        what I will be.

But I can't sleep
tonight because
I no longer like
having my own
personal space.

Last night I just
needed you
closerclosercloser
but it felt like
you were so

                                                          far.

Finally you
grabbed me and
pulled me to your
chest and you
said, "God, why
was I trying to
sleep without
you right here?"
