Wanting... <br />With deepening needs, <br />That haunt me. <br />No one suspects, <br />I feel this way. <br />They are not easily displayed! <br />I hide them well. <br /> <br />Bleeding... <br />A flow inside me, <br />Seeking. <br />But I've been taught <br />To just pretend! <br />And feelings felt would slowly end, <br />Like something craved. <br /> <br />These would come and sit and not let go! <br />Emotions I have touched and want to show! <br />Burning are desires I now know. <br />With intensity that grows and grows! <br />And keeps me... <br /> <br />Wanting... <br />For someone who is longing, <br />To fill their vacant heart with love. <br />I'm more than glad to share my love. <br />It's here within... <br />To give!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
