The Girl Who Just Wants To Be Held
A collection of poems about longing, loss, and the aching hope of love.

These are the quiet cries I never said out loud.
These are the nights I waited for someone to see me.
This is the grief of being too much and never enough.
This is the softness I tried to protect.

Each poem is a piece of the girl who stayed, even when it hurt.
Even when no one reached back.
Even when she didnโ€™t know if she was worth holding.

I wrote this for anyone whoโ€™s ever loved too hard, lost too quietly, or wished they could disappear into someoneโ€™s arms.

Come hold her now.

Use me.

I love you.

I donโ€™t care.

Fools blood

Blistered on my skin

Beginnings are special

For the ones who

Are akin

To a giver.

Miss the longing lips

Of ever present hate

-Play a game of checkers-

I have arrested myself

And given everything 

to you.

I hate you,

And I love you.

And I love that exact feeling.

What Why Why

  Why

Why

I canโ€™t stop

No one can help me

I am out of control.

I know why

My life 

Sucks.

It is because

I suck.

Why wonโ€™t 

The Man 

Love me?

I miss Him.

Who is He?

Who is my love?

Who will be my love?

It is destiny I know.

I love him.

I love The Man.

He makes me happy.

I think

Iโ€™m repeating the same thoughts

Over and over

In my head.

Small

A small bundle

Of the same

Thoughts.

The Man The Man The Man

Awake Awake Awake

I just hope you’re in

Love

Canโ€™t do what 

is tough

Waiting for

the coercion

In everybody’s 

Touch

I am something 

Valuable,

Why canโ€™t you see?

I love myself

And I love the trees

I’m a living being 

Tell me you think Iโ€™m pretty

I bet you’re on a mission.

I donโ€™t trust anyone

Because 

I donโ€™t even

Trust myself.

Would it help if

It wasnโ€™t about 

Sex?

It is all the same

Just different shades.
