To Be Loved

These tears don’t belong here

Yet here they are anyway

Needing a hand of reassurance

To say it’s okay

 

The feeling will pass

It always does

Don’t put up defences

I’m just making a fuss

Though sometimes knowledge

Just isn’t enough

I need to be loved, I need to be loved

 

These tears I’ve welcomed

My long lost friends

Needing some kind of reassurance

That I’m okay

 

This will be forgotten

It always is

No holding grudges

Just ignore this

Though sometimes I need more

Than a silent wish

I need to be loved, I need to be loved
