the rain is falling steadily
it drums a constant beat
keeping time with my teardops
of feelings of defeat
my heart it pounding loudly
echoing in my ears
as violent shivers rack my body
hoping noone hears
my sobs or moans of sadness
my cries for help, for love
to feel connected to my Father
and His watching from above
the loneliness envelopes me
apart from G-d and man
long to feel anothers care
a hug, a squeeze, a hand
oh what would i give
for a shoulder to cry on
someone to hush me, crush me
in embrace, to point out dawn
to give me empathy,
then show me there is light
to have the time to talk to me
when i feel down at night.
For me to GIVE to, care about
we’d both vent to the other
to be supportive when i can
a friend closer than brother
to share my day, to hear of yours
to problem solve together
encourage, uplift, motivate
a connection for forever
i want a friend, but even more
to be a friend, connect
i want better relationships
work and try to perfect
i want to once more to feel
the warmth of His embrace
to daven and feel connection
not ashamed to lift my face
i want to grow and rise
to mend and fix my ways
i want the help, the gentle push
to burst forth in heartfelt praise
i want the void i feel or make
of relationships weak or lacking
to reignite, burst forth in warmth
send cold depression packing
