Needing a Friend

If you could
sit with me
for just a moment

If you would
listen as I vent away
my fears

I need another
human to
connect with

I need to
know that someone
really cares

For I’ve been hiding
in this world
a long time

I’ve been
talking to myself
and empty walls

And though I
sometimes thrive
amidst the silence

I’m getting lonely
pacing through these
empty halls

So if you could
sit with me
for just a moment

If you would
listen even for
a little while

I wouldn’t feel
so alone with you
beside me

Maybe you
could help me
learn to smile

Until next time, stay safe, and be blessed! 🙂
