Love Me

Love Me

It's dark
and I am all alone
wanting
yearning
needing
to connect with you

It's dark
and you are gone
hoping
wishing
needing
to stay far away from me

You said
my love
suffocates
expects
depends
encompasses and then
traps

You said
you needed space
peace
quiet
to think
of a reason
any reason
to stay with me

It's dark
and in the shadows
I search my mind
recall my flaws
over and over again
I am so embarassed
I am so alone
I want you to love me
as much
as I love you
