Can someone just
Come close
All the way
Into my heart
I’ll show you in
Excuse the mess....
Haven’t had many guests...

I just want to be loved
Accepted
Noticed
Remembered
Touched
Admired
Cared for
Respected

I need these things
The desire hurts
I can’t let myself hope
Because I know these
Are not the kinds of things
Someone like me
Gets to have
