i miss you
even though i know we can't connect
you've got me
pegged

sometimes i just want to know
it's going to be all right
sometimes i want someone who'll sit
with me through my maelstroms
strong like a tree
someone whom i don't have to pay
by the hour

someone who won't then
turn around and relate my heart-strung-pearl necklaces
borne of struggles in oysters
like pithy anectodes

at the end of the day
i'd just love to be held
fast
