Tonight is lonely,
and my heart begs for more.
When busy,
the ache is hardly recognizable,
but on evenings such as this,
when the moon is high,
and the wind chills to the bone,
how nice it would be
to feel a gentle touch,
talk with someone
who cares,
or feel a gentle whisper
soft against my ear.
I curse this need to feel love.
How easy it would be to just
go through life without need, for
need is a fickle bedfellow.
How elusive he is!
Like a butterfly, here one moment
gone the next.
Yes, tonight I feel lonely.
I remember past loves.
I remember ships and oceans
passionate kisses in lonely corridors.
I remember those feelings of truly
being wanted.
But the remembering
makes the loneliness I feel now
even more lonely.
All I can do is close my eyes
and pray for sleep or a dream.
I hug my pillow like a lover,
drinking in the scent of what was.

The grass is always greener......sometimes I wish to be a hermit in a mountain cave!
kudos
I think those feeling can only be satisfied by ourselves. IMHO we cannot find contentment through another person.
How easy it would be to just go through life without need " I have many grieving the death of some old friendships, and I just wish I could stop thinking about them and stop hurting .
