Just That They Are

[Andrea]

I don’t like sleeping alone.

I want a warm body next to me,

I want arms wrapped around me

At this point I care not who’s they are

But just that they are.


When is it my turn to fall in love?
Will it ever be my turn?

Who are you to judge?
You’ve probably found love,
You probably think, poor, pitiful Andrea,
Doesn’t know how to get a lover.

d**n right I don’t.
I haven’t a clue.

I was always told,
Don’t look, don’t touch,
Don’t flirt,
Don’t do anything you’re regret.
Don’t.

And now I’m supposed to know how?
I’m supposed to do all those things,

And then he’ll come?

I have to laugh,
Cause at this point,
I’m open to anything,
Male or Female.

Just find me someone,
Who’ll stay forever,
And wrap their arms
Around me at night.

I don’t care who’s they are,
Just that they are.

So many emotions are poured into this poem, and I feel them all. This is so moving. As it continues, it grows more desperate. I really enjoyed this. In fact, so far, it's my favorite piece of yours.

Favorite line:

I want arms wrapped around me
At this point I care not who’s they are
But just that they are.

Thank you, my greatest goal is that with my words I am able to convey my feelings to another. Which is, also, I think, the goal of poetry is it not?
