Fiercely loved

I want to be fiercely loved.

I need to be wanted and needed and held and cherished.

I need connection and intimacy—knowing glances and unsaid words.

I want to be fiercely loved.

I want him to see me, love me, revere my body.

I want him to want me…need me…demand me.

I want him to look at me with wonder and see all the answers in my eyes.

I want to be fiercely loved.

We hang on by a rope…him, comfortable;

Me, wanting—grieving.

Trying, trying, trying,

Crying, crying, crying.

I want to be fiercely loved.
