I’m tired of sadness and suffering,
Of the soul-crushing weight,
Of not being capable of love,
And not being loved.
I want an easy love,
Simple and monotone.
A warm, reassuring embrace,
In the afternoon light,
Held by kind arms,
Kisses on my skin,
Body heat against mine.
Why must life be so cruel?
I am human, like everyone else.
I have needs, I have feelings.
I am a sensitive girl,
Feeling everything too deeply,
Yet not used to this life.
I want to know what it’s like,
To be loved,
To be cherished.
Love came early for everyone around me,
Why must I be the one
To wait this long?
