Alive

I feel I'm alone
Whisper in my ear
I need to know
you are near

Come close to me
reach out and touch me
Whisper in my ear
I need to feel
you are here

Hold me in your arms
tell me you love me
Whisper in my ear
Come back to life this year

Tell me it's not true
tell me you're alive
Whisper in my ear
come home to me my dear

A Native New Yorker, I've been writing poetry for as long as I can remember. It is my hope that someone may find solace in my words.
