it's all come to this
the lacking
the yearning

at this point i'm not afraid
to admit to the fear
i
have
of the
loneliness

it's been so long

long
long
since I've felt a hand on mine

since the warmth of another
vulnerable and fine
lay entwined
body and mind

& and it's hard to bear

just convince
me that
you care

at this point
"you"
is a generalization

please just come to bed

give me that release
help me find that peace

aid me in knowing
the comfort that's growing

perhaps
for once
won't cease

come
to
me
