For someone like you-
Someone to love me,
Someone who will love me more than I do.
Someone like a compass,
To guide my hopeless heart,
To point me towards salvation.
I need your help to understand.
I don’t understand-
Why won’t they talk?
Why won’t they engage?
Why won’t they smile back?
Why do they stare?
Point and laugh,
Mock, whisper and disappear
When I approach in naivety?
The fire in their eyes,
It burns through my weak shell,
Haunting me like my own icy-hot wraiths.
I need you-
I need you to introduce clarity,
Present an explanation,
Offer the solution.
Help.
Help.
