Aching Soul

That I'm to Blame For

The moments that I long for

that my body craves and my soul aches for

those that could not happen to someone like me

those that only happen to people that are not afraid

to love, to live

but I can always dream

I can imagine it so vividly

what I want

the warmth from someones touch

someones love

… anyone

I want you to hold me, be my home

help me feel safe

laugh with me, make me smile

help me escape

argue with me, make me mad

help me feel something

hold my hand, never let it go

help me not feel alone

About the Creator

Esme Alvarez

I started writing as a way of getting things off my chest or head. It makes me feel a little less crazy. To those that are living in fear due to mental illness: you are strong, you are a warrior and you are not alone.
