I've learnt that I crave acceptance
So is this poem an epiphany;
Or simply, a cry for attention?

I want you to come see me
because you want to
because the thought of being away from me makes you feel like your heart is a sailor that tied your stomach into knots as if his beloved ship would sail away
if the rope wasn't tight enough
or if a loop came undone

I want you to hold me  
because when I'm not in your arms you feel like the world is tilting and slipping away like grains of sand
from between your nimble fingers

I want you to crave me
because my skin sets your skin on fire and my lips ignite a spark in you that makes it hard to breathe and that a hundred cold showers couldn't put out  

I want you
to want me

but all these nights I lie awake
yearning for a whiff of you
I know
somewhere
you are satisfied
with the taste
of her

Lonely heart,
   I know how you long to talk to someone.  
   You crave affection attention, and romance.
   The tears fall, the voice weakens, but thats not enough; he doesnt hear your heart.
  Maybe you should scream louder???
