Life

A Poem by ArcerianLover

A short poem I wrote while in the throes of loneliness.

Wouldn't it be nice?
To have someone to come home to
Someone to cherish.

Wouldn't it be nice?
To have people to talk to
People to meet with.

Wouldn't it be nice?
Not to feel so lonely
Not to feel worthless.

Wouldn't it be nice?

Life would be better.
With someone to live it with
Carry burdens with
Share secrets with
Savor moments with.

Life would be better.
With someone to lean on
See the world beyond
Feel minutes like eons
Light my heart up like neon.

Life would be better.

But the world isn't nice
And life won't get better.
Unless you raise up your hopes
And write your own letters.

Go search out your passion
Find new things to cherish.
You'll find your own people
Who won't make you feel worthless.

You can share your own burdens
And hide your own secrets.
The moments will find you
You'll have fewer regrets.

Your life can't depend on
Who you spend it with.
For if you can't manage
A little independence
Then you'll never truly see
Beyond the fog of your penitence.
