thewhiitelotus:

it comes again

the feeling of

a small animal

pawing at the inside

of my rib cage

no claws

but a soft whine

desperation

yearning for 

something i cannot give

my own arms

only offer

so much comfort

and the poor

wounded creature

inside of me

requires more love

than i can give

if only i could

mimic the embrace

of a lover

with my own 

fragile limbs

but i am cold 

and weary

and i cannot fool

the sad animal

it knows its own sorrow

better than anything else
