Today I needed a hug
Looked up tears in my eyes
Lump in my throat
Hoping someone would see me
.
I held out my arms
Asked, no begged for a hug
You passed by
Detoured
Like I was a pothole on the highway
.
I let the tears fall
Got hold of your shirt and sobbed
Hoping you would hold me
You pushed me away
I felt like a stray today
.
I tried getting a hold of you
Ended up hugging myself instead
I hope i’m fine now
But next time hold me
I may not always make it, on my own
