I Need Your Love Poem by Uriah Hamilton

I Need Your Love

Rating: 4.6


I need you when I’m alone
And my heart is a dark, friendless street
In a cruel, compassionless city;
I need you because hope
Vanishes like a waking dream
When I lie in my restless bed
Without you breathing next to me;
I need your voice encouraging me
To yet see God despite personal weaknesses
Bringing me to my knees
With habits of defeat;
I need your love
Because this cold survival
Has run such a barren course
That I no longer recognize myself
As a human being that a woman would touch
And bring into her home.

Uriah, Whether you know it or not.......you've already been brought into my home. You and your wonderfully tender heart are embedded in my soul. You have that affect on people through your words...that is truly a gift. Your friend, Mary

This poem oozes longing and loneliness. You have done it well with your rewriting. The line 'my heart is a dark, friendless street' says it all. Your writing gets better, Uriah. Raynette

Uncliched honesty about the heart is hard to find around here. This is the real stuff.
