LOVE ME TENDER


sometimes a man gets so sad he can hardly feel it 
anymore.

there were the years you waited for love-
aching 
and now you hardly think of it anymore.

sometimes you get so alone that it just makes sense.


in the past:
i needed you to feel
my loneliness 
for me
with me
just for right now
because the weight is too heavy
and its crushing me second by second

some men take it
and hand it back
some men feel it deeply
and hate me for it.


sick recognizes sick
hurt recognizes hurt

love me tender
love me, quick.
