This one can be found in my book, "Seasons Come, People Grow: A Poetic Journey," on pages 42-44.
Together and happy,
Waiting and watching,
Head sinks down,
Longing and wanting,
When I walk through,
The lights won't turn on,
I've got nothing left inside,
Nothing left to go on,
Search me and frisk me,
Indifference rules in my world,
I see everyone else holding hands, happy,
Here I am, with no one, all alone,
Put your arms around me,
Hold me and squeeze me tight,
I don't care who you are,
Let's get and make things right,
I walk the streets at night,
Sad and lonely am I,
Wanting to give up,
As I hold my arms up to the sky,
Co-dependent to the bone,
Insecure to the core,
Please come and whisk me away,
Save me from myself.
