Lonely Wars Poem by Angelica Duardo

I’m so lonely
When you’re here with me
I can’t live
When you’re far from here

And this cold silent darkness
Has left me empty handed
I thought we were meant to be
Now I know that’s not how you feel

We fought alone our lonely wars
Still here we are with our tyrant love
Pretending once more
That nothing ever went wrong

And all I want to do tonight- Is hold you tight
Let you know that I need your arms
To hold me now, to hold me down

My heart feels like never before
Before I knew what love could bring me
And take away
Away from me

So please
Just hold me down tonight
One more time
Just love all tonight
One more time
