I Long

A Poem by Helen

A common topic I know, but its how I feel right now.

Simply needing pure love
A righteous lover to caress my inner being.

Why must I long for what should be,
for what I have not seen.

The winds of foul love have blown chills across my skin
Caught in the thoughts of sin imposed by those who have pursued me
Evil pressed on me like a coating I cant escape
Honeymooners hollow promises and I am victim again.

May we not fly away
Can you not see beneath my clothes,
beneath my skin, is a heart and soul
I deserve love
I deserve to be whole

I understand the grief of Lilith
I feel like I am killed each time I see your sex eyes evaluate me
Is that all I am worth
Now I turn away
Fooled again
I hide in shame
Is my life to you, not but a game.
