All i needed was....
 
  All I needed was a shoulder to lean on
I would never have soiled it with my tears
Just a place to rest my weary head
Just as I offered you mine

All I needed was someone to acknowledge my pain
I would never have caused you no harm
Just a word or two to soothe and heal
Just as I soothed and healed you

All I needed was to talk to someone who would listen
I would never have taken too much time
Just an ear to whisper my fears
Just as I heard your whispered fears

All I needed was a friend to share a laugh and a smile
I guess I was wrong for everything is conditional
There is no unconditional
A laugh for laughter
A smile for each smile
A tear for each tear
But no friend for a friend

Lilac Wine

Very touchy poem, tragedy of the time, man is going away from man, the distances are widenning, though we live in the multitude of men and women but still we experience a sense of lonliness. There is no one to share our pangs and pleasure, there is no one to mop our tears. We feel alone because evry one is running after his own material pursuits, every one is scratched and wounded. But the poetess should not be depressed, the world yet has a few men and women who are in search of the faces with flowing tears, they intend to soak them, they have the shoulders to offer, to lessen the pangs.
Nice poem with the natural flow.
Love and hugs
Shanazar
