I see it around
Yet, never truly experienced
Couples are happy
Marriages pour love

Yet never truly experienced
Am I different
Marriages pour love
Is it wasted on me?

Am I different
does anyone know?
Is it wasted on me?
Why haven't I been

Does anyone know?
Is love for the privileged
Why haven't I been
Do I resemble Frankenstein's monster?

Is love for the privileged
How I wish for that glorious feeling
Do I resemble Frankenstein's monster?
My spirit feels ugly

How I wish for that glorious feeling
My heart has never been touched
My spirit feels ugly
Is the inner me void?

My heart has never been touched
Am i too live my life never knowing?
Is the inner me void?
I step back from the world

Am I to live my life never knowing?
Couples are happy
I step back from the world
I see it around

First of all, welcome to the Pub.

"My spirit feels ugly..."

My heart breaks with the saddness and sense of hopelessness this poem emits.  Everyone deserves to feel the light and joy of love.  Very sad.

What sad verse, but you are not alone, many feel this way, only to find when love does come, it is all the more sweeter. Nice work here, welcome to the Pub Friend.

 Poetry is the expression of thoughts which awake the higher and nobler emotions, or their opposites, with words arranged to some accepted convention.........or maybe not! Dennis :^)

Welcome to the Pub! This is a very sad poem, one which I'm sure most of us can relate to at one time or anohter in our lives.

If we knew the answer to the question in your title, we'd be millionaires! Who knows why someone can find their soulmate while other equally worthy people fail to find theirs...... I've given up the search. Alone is not so bad when you're a poet..

Welcome to the Pub, dhuron.

This is sad, but also very true. I had my chance and I blew it. Now, I think it's too late.

this is a very good poem but sadness pours from it.  I can relate to this poem and have asked myself many times before if I would ever find love.  We will all find love one day, it's just a matter of when.< !signature-->

 To find true love is to know true happiness... to lose true love is to lose everything

~Dhuron...

Welcome to the Pub!!   Sorry know everyone else already has lol, but I wanted to also. This is a great first piece to enter! I am saddened by the fact that you feel this way. But I believe all of us have felt like it at one time or another. YES you deserve love, and it will come to you. You just have to be patient. I know, easier said than done. BUT I am a firm believer in the saying "good things come to those who wait." Keep the faith hon, and try to SMILE! I know its hard, but at least try.

Take care,
AMY
