Nobody But Myself

When I need
reasurrance
you give me
silence.

When I need truth
you give me control,
lies and manipulation.

When I need to
trust and believe
you give me no one
to trust and believe in.

When I want you
and I need you
you have given me
nobody but myself.

A touch of disillusion in this one, dear James. The awareness of being able to cope with everything on our own is precious.

Love,

Wow.  How did you get inside of my head...?  What a painfully realistic piece - well done.

Great work, James.  You were obviously given the greatest gift of all:  self-reliance!  A very difficult transition from seeking support from someone to realising that strength within.  Good wordcraft with sombre images.

a little sad, but sometimes women reveal men to themselves and they can feel alone, enjoyed your poem.

This makes me think of times that I have felt lonely - there is a touch of bitter sadness and I understand it, dear James.
