PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Someday, I think I'll understand

why I get this way

feeling empty, yet filled with gloom

but will knowing ease the pain?

Someday is simply off there

somewhere in the blue



Do you know, I get lonely too?

but I don't know for whom or what

It happens just the same

I desire to be loved

Is that too much to ask?

Yes, people love me; this, I know

but, do they have to forget to tell me so?



Sometimes, I think I want someone new

other times it's just I want the old ones

to stop treating me as they do

I'd like a little compassion

a little more appreciation

I just want someone to understand me



Hey, is anybody listening?

Yeah, that is all I want

I don't want some sound advice

I just want to feel that I'm okay today

Not told what I should do



Let me see your loving eyes

Feel the comfort of your reassuring nod

Maybe you could hold my hand?

This is all I need right now

except for maybe hearing something like ...

"Hey I love you!" and

"Yes, I understand."
