I Want A Lover Who Loves As Intensely As I Do

All I ever wanted was to be understood, accepted and listened to.

In return I would’ve given you everything.

It’s funny, people say they want your soul... but when they start getting glimpses of it and it’s not what they pictured it being they have adverse reactions to it.

Maybe one day someone will see past the shadows and just hold me endure the pain the world has caused me.

I don’t expect to be relieved or saved, I just want to be held...

If only it were that simple.
