I Just Want to be Loved...

I Just Want to be Loved

I see it in distance
I feel it's calming comforting presence
But there is nothing there
When I open my eyes
And I have a lack of surprise
But only once when I feel something so strong
I want to find it wrapped in my arms
To never bleed and to always linger
To hold my hand and face the danger
Of all the struggles this earth draws upon
If we can feel so high within a love
Nothing will stand in our way or break us apart
But I wake up on the floor
Crying in a cold sweat, tears surround my naked body
Awakening with no one with me
No voice to be heard
Except the screams and cries in my head
Why is it that when I feel so close
This amputation is executed upon me
How do I draw a line of self-acceptance
To feel love within myself
So that she can cross and let herself in
I am praying
I am speaking
I am dreaming
And I am asking
Please come to me once and for all
My sweet sweet release of a broken heart
Wounded and mended and recovering in your soft hands
Your sweet words in my ears will bring me to my feet again
And we can bask in a glow of sunshine
We can swim in the waters that will try to divide
But you will wrap around me so tightly
We can flow freely
In different cued scenes hopeful progressions and perfect melody
If only I can withstand this waiting
Because all I ever wanted was just to be loved
To let someone inside the walls that will break down
Fully exposed and vulnerable
Gently touching my face in sweet assurance
To finally find the peace I sought in determent
