Love.

she longed to be loved she longed to be held she feared what she loved and loved what she feared she hoped one day not to be alone she hoped one day she would be held held as she slept held as she woke not needing to hold and count her ribs to feel held at night Not needing to hold food as she tried to sleep food she loved food she hated the loneliness at times over whelmed her the grief the tears the sadness She wished there was a he a he to love her from inside out to reach her to understand her   © Patience Weakening

as she lay frozen in the darkness frozen by her tears Remembering the good times the free times the times her mind was out of the cobweb of her loneliness There were some precious times she remembered as she held her pillow her tears fell unable to sleep once brushed by the wings of love left now in a place of longing of no belonging lost searching for hope seraching for joy rembering the ecstasy AND pain of love love for him love for food she needed to love herself
