  • I am so achingly lonely
    my feelings hurt
    lotsa stuff hurts
    I took some pills today
    and I guess they’re working
    I guess that’s good


    I know I have lots of good friends
    friends who by their actions
    show me how much they love me
    often that’s enough
    why isn’t it always enough?


    why are there some people I’ve loved
    the very people who ought to know me best
    why don’t they love me too?
    they have the opportunity to see
    into my very center
    and they change their minds
    they walk away
    or they kick me
    and walk away
    I know I shouldn’t care
    but it can’t always be just them, right?

    I know we all have our flaws
    I love other people with flaws
    it just doesn’t seem that hard
    why is it so hard?


    I have friends
    I  don’t have a strong chest to lay my head on
    a chest to sop up my tears
    someone to say “there there”
    and if for a time I do
    if I show myself
    they’re gone forever
    when will I be loved?


    does a person have to be strong
    ALL the time?
    to deserve love?
    or am I just made all wrong?
