i feel like a rather strong woman
yet i still quiver at your touches,
i still feel like i need them every day
to feel safe and loved by you

maybe, now, this isn’t a good thing,
maybe you’re tired of how much
i want to hold you and be held
and you’d rather i didn’t so much

but that’s like asking me to
breathe less air or make my
heart beat less beats in a day,
it’s not something i can control,
my wanting you so much

until, i suppose, you make me
feel unwanted and then
hands off, and we’re off-
i can’t live that way
