Poetry

Indulgent by LA Watkins

Your name lingers on my lips
Like chocolate
Like peanut butter on the roof of my mouth
I say it, again and again
Rolling it over on my tongue
Tasting it, sticky, sweet and smooth
Your voice echoes in my mind
Sweeter than any symphony I’ve ever heard
It gets in my blood and slides along my veins
Filling me up from the inside out




Always alone by LA Watkins

So tired of being alone
So scared of reaching out
So sure I need somebody else
And still so full of doubt
I cry I cry I cry
You can see
I draw back
When you reach out to me
I hope you will wait
I hope you’ll be there
When I am ready
To believe you really care
I hang on tight to my heartache
It’s all I’ve had to hold
There’s no room for someone new,
Until I let go of the old
I remember love, such love
I thought it would last always
Never thought I could waste it all
Wasted it so many ways
I’m alone in the twilight,
Here the voices come again
Each one urging me to come their way
None of them knows my name
No matter what we do,
It seems
We are always alone
Except in our dreams
Reach out, reach out,
As far as I can
Hoping that maybe,
You’ll be there to hold my hand.

never be without you

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you. - Winnie the Pooh (AA Milne)

Have you ever loved someone this much?
