Street Lights

I wish someone would hold me while I break down. I wish I was held tighter. So I knew I wasn't alone. I don't need words to be spoken. Just the presence is needed. Just knowing I'm not alone. It's always worse at night, when the world slows down, streetlights are on and there's no distraction from the way I feel to loosen up. I don't want to disappear as a person. I want the numbness and emptiness to go away and leave me alone for at least one time. That's all I'm asking for, one moment. Not one year not one month. One moment.
