Make me alive

There was a show
we used to watch as a family
every Sunday night.
Sue Thomas, F.B.Eye
about a deaf woman
who worked with the FBI.
And there was one episode
that I liked
an episode where
Tara was almost shot
and to catch the sniper
she used herself as bait
and he shot at her again
then they caught him.
It wasn't
until after the second time
that she could cry about it.

I feel like that sometimes?

I'd like something to happen
that will make me feel
and make me cry
and make me feel
more alive than I do now
in this lonely world
someone used to call home.

~~~

Somebody, hold me too close,
Somebody, hurt me too deep,
Somebody, sit in my chair
And ruin my sleep
And make me aware
Of being alive,
Being alive.
