vulnerability pushes
pulling me towards depression
a deep sense
of not belonging
but needing to so badly

and it's an empty hollow
filled with
non-existent tears
that completes me tonight
a gnawing ache
churning up my mind

lonely ache
somewhere deep inside
so consistently there
i'm surprised i still
notice it's there

and i'm needing something
to fill in the void
a touch a look
a simple pair of arms
strong and steady always there
warm inviting
how i need that tonight
