Me, now…

I have had to deal with tragedy
and have distanced myself
from many people
I know care for me
But I cannot give them support
for something I am breaking apart from
So I hope you all know
That I want you back
I miss you
I need to cry on your shoulder
I need to have your company
And I will try
to reach out
to show how much
you are needed.

He wanted to prod the other places, letting them know his need, his children were hungry.

Wash over me with your delicate rays, keep me warm when I am cold, light my way when it is dark, feed my body when it is needy.
