Hold Me

We all want to be held sometimes

I never think
of me in your bed,
but I always think
of me in your arms.

I never know what
you are going to say,
but I always want
you to say it to me.

I came in
just to see
your eyes light up
and I stayed to hear
your voice touch my ears.

I never expect
anything from you,
but I always want
just a little bit more.

Just a little
more of you
to go with
a little bit of me
and a just
a little request:
hold me.

I didn’t expect
to even touch you,
but I wished
I could feel you
beside me.

I talked to hear
my own voice
in the silence
and I was shocked
to hear yours
answer me.

I glanced
in your direction
to see your reaction
and I was floored
when I saw
you looking back.

I closed in for a
simple embrace
and I found your arms
wrapped tightly
around me

And when
you’re around me
I seem to lose
my ability
to stand
on my own,
so I ask:
hold me.

"I never know what

I loved this. It speaks softly, but it has power, and touched the heart.

This is Awesome! Great job

[Laura Maidah]

Evokes wistful memories of past loves. That's quite rare. Nice work! It almost feels like two different poems meshed into one. Maybe opt for part 1 and part 2?

I believe this to be one of the most romantic, honest, beautiful poems I have ever read, it speaks to my heart as if I were the one it was written for, THAT is poetry, that is divine, this is going into my favorites!
