As humans, it is in our code to long for love and desire to be held and comforted.

Alright, Steemians, she has done it again. My wife was flipping through her rolodex (c'mon, don't tell me that you don't know what a rolodex is. Really? Ok, check it.) of writings from her teenage years and stumbled across this one and one more (check it out in the next post). I am still blown away by her words, and I am trying to get here to write more now...But with a 19month old running around, it can be harder to do so.

Anyways, here it is, and original poem just for you guys!

"Please love me, please hold me. Please, please understand."

All wild- ­eyed and dreamy, I'm the girl you can't understand. 
I'm pensive and thoughtful, more broken than I'd planned.
There's subtlety to my words. I can tell you that I'm okay,
But deep down beneath the ritualistic words, I'm screaming,
Screaming for someone, anyone to take my pain away.
It's a tender hurt. A rapid heartbeat in an empty chest.
I feel betrayed. Every new plea just falls among the rest.
Vacant, unheeded calls to be set free from the constant ache.
Someday isn't enough when I'm slowly beginning to break.
I just need you to hold me tight and never, ever let me go.
Hold me tight 'cause I'm needing you more than you know. 
I'm afraid to be afraid. Fear of fear is always at the core.
I've never been alright like I've made you believe and ignore.
Cradle my heart if you can understand this soul at all.
Cradle this fragile heart and help me beat down this wall. 
Already, already gone. In a moment, they never knew.
They never knew in that moment. Life's not about me.
They told me without words that life's not all about me. 
I'll agree and I'll keep to myself. I'll agree and walk alone.
If you're not trying to understand, that I'd rather be unknown.
My heart, it flutters, it flutters with angst. Angst, angst, angst.
I'll never know how to soar if these chains aren't released. 
Stop me before I fall, catch me before I escape your hold.
I'm trying to live in my chaotic mind and I need you to unfold
Every part of me that they can't see, I need you to understand.
Please love me, please hold me. Please, please understand.
