something I can't seem to have

it's amazing how things can turn so suddenly
even though i'm prepared
it still comes as an initial shock

the feeling of trusting,
leaving myself wide open
then to have that wrenched
from my grasp in an instant

that stone that sinks to the pit of my stomach
turning and twisting and growing
until i feel that its so large
it has now ended up in my throat

encompassed by an ever painful familiarity
that i'm everyone's good friend
reliable, sensible and caring
yet such qualities cannot bring me love

what is it to be loved by someone?
i've had it before and let it go
it had ceased to be the magical swirling whirlwind
and had turned into more like a comfortable blanket,
still warm but slightly irritating.

to be held in the arms of someone,
to sense that warm connection,
that closeness and feeling of security.

its all well and good to be strong and independent
but sometimes it can just be so lonely...
