Beheld

I hurt myself

Denying the truth

Pretending I can cope fine alone

Which I do

Hiding the feeling deep inside

Of how much I long for you

Just the touch of a hand

Or a place to lie

Together under the blue sky

Beside someone whose eyes

Look deeply into my own

And its not as if

I want to keep

All these secrets locked inside

And you would eventually prise them out of me

But I am getting so used to this

Aloneness

At times I get scared

Because I know there is a better way

But I just don’t know

If I will ever ever see the day

When you behold me

As I so long to behold

And be beheld
