Caricamento in corso...

arms

i found arms tonight.
kisses gentle and the warmth of his body was all too familiar.
he held me like he cared with whispers soft in my hair.
the little strokes on my back, unasked but wanted.
i found arms tonight.
the squeeze i felt when he pulled me tight was enough to make my night.
yet i still see him.
after little thought of his laugh, it all came at once.
why care? why put myself out like a lantern in the dark
when there is no one to be seen.
your attention when not mine makes me dwindle in thought
of who has it.
i tell myself no like a wild animal, yet i do not listen.
wait. i’m told.
but the anxiety of being forgotten quickly eats me up
and i am left to only think the worst.
when words aren’t spoken my questions never asked.
what is left to do.
in hopes that maybe i have left enough with you to still
have a passing thought in your head.
how lucky i’d feel.
but to want more is unrealistic when i found you.
i want to be in your arms tonight.
