Every day gets harder
holding up this make believe smile.
Wishing someone loved me,
that maybe I could be their universe.
Perhaps a friend would unexpectedly call,
simply to bid hello.
For once I wouldn't be everyones support,
they'd let me fall so they could catch me.
How is it that I'm always so alone,
even while someone holds me tight?
Maybe this heart is fated to be alone,
deserted by all those treasured within.
Every day is spent hopeing for personal love,
so that I can deal only recieving love from me...


~The price of finding love is to eventually lose it. When I wish on a falling star, I wish not for material goods but to show kindness to others and be content with what the world may offer me~

This is the same way I've felt before, so  I can relate. Hope that someday you will not feel so alone.

P.S. Welcome back to the forums!

"No guy is worth your tears, but the one who is won't make you cry"

it doesn't seem to apply to this ont he surface, but the fact of the matter is, you seem to think you're being left out by others, when in fact it's just natural. The right person will come along, and yo'll connect, and it will be the best thing to ever happen to you.

I thought this was great. I know how you feel in this one. I really connected with it. I too feel lonely even when held tightly.....Sometimes it's just not the right kind of hold I guess.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I think we both are in the same boat. A feeling of being alone is not really the best thing to have. All we can do is hang on though. That's what I'm doing and I know we will find someone in the future

This was like reading into me without the whole loneliness scenario though. But being the one who provides the emotional support while you dangle is something I connected with.

Nice work.
