Needing

Staring out across an endless plain
Far as you can see there is nothing
Staring out across an endless life
Far as you can see there is pain

Journey across the boundless earth
Not meeting another on their way
Journey across your existence
Not meeting another to give you worth

Being in a crowd with people all around
To be overlooked and avoided
Being there offering yourself
To be judged worthless and turned down

Turning within yourself for comfort
Holding all the grief inside
Turning inside for validation
Holding the pieces of your heart

Needing a word, a touch
Needing only that much
Needing some one to say
Needing you I am today
