Hold Me Poem by Carmella Stajanca

Oh, what I would give right now just to have you here. For you to be able to hold me tight. Because maybe that will help me feel alright. I need your body warmth to make all this pain go away. I think a simple hug from you will help me to feel okay. I wish I could have you with me now just for a moment. So all the damage inside of me can no longer leave me broken. Your touch can heal me. I need you to hold me tight in your arms. Please don't let me go even if I try. Honestly I don't want to run away from you. I don't want to cry. I'm tired of all the tears escaping from my eyes. I never knew I had so many trapped inside. This feeling is inevitable... I have nowhere to hide. Yet being in your arms may help me confide. I need you to hold me even for a short moment in time. Being in your arms is the only place that will reassure me that i'm safe.
