Poems and Poetry: She Wanted Attention
She Has Been Alone For So Long
She has been alone for so long
On the edge of life, a fake one
She desperately wanted attention
A silver of hopelessness pierced her
And her body practically screamed
“I’m available”
Meeting her soul mate was a
Memorable life-changing experience
Heat tingled along her skin
Accepting pocket of happiness
Whenever she was touched
Like adding oil to a flame
Nerve endings fired back to life
With a near-painful intensity
Her features were still
But her eyes gave her away
Tender warmth and love mirrored there.
