Grasping at the Hem

one of my attempts at poetry, one that I'm actually half proud of...

Grasping At The Hem


i need the healing you hold

but i don’t want a spectacle

and i don’t want to waste your time

it can be between you and me

a source of quiet praise

i know you deal with a lot of people

all the time

so just let me touch your cloak

i know that that’s enough

that’s all it takes

so don’t mind me

i’m just one in a sea of faces

all begging for your healing

i don’t want it to be earth-shattering

or anything along those lines

all i need is to be healed on the inside

i need you to stitch my heart back together

so just ignore me as i grasp at your hem…
