Lonely Words from a Lonely Girl

Lonely Words from a Lonely Girl

A Poem by Kaitlyn Raiford

My eyes are heavy, and my fingers tingle.
I've gotten three hours of sleep.

I feel as if my eyelids are nearly shrunk in enough to close.
I wonder if they're still red from crying.

We fight every night now.
I don't know if it will get better.

I even poured my whole heart into a nice dinner.
I cleaned the room, and changed the litter.

I don't think he cared enough to notice.

Every lunch break he calls me, like he used to.
But unlike then, we fight- the usual.

I just want him to say he loves me.
I don't want to feel this lonely.

If I cry, he shuns me away.
If he's not slamming the door, he's playing his game.

I left my home, and my family behind.
I have no comfort left to find.

I feel broken.
I'm tired from not sleeping at night.

I wish I knew what compels us to fight.

I love him.
But does he still love me?

I want things to get better.
I don't want either of us to leave.

Is it stupid to hope, or to try and believe...
That we can make things better?

Hey, came across this in my read requests (haven't been checking them lol) And the poem itself is very meaningful and overflowing with emotion, but I do have to point out the flow is a little..off. At first I thought maybe it didn't have a rhyme sequence but then in the middle you put somewhat of one and then I was like, okay, this is fine, but when I got to the last line the rhyming disappeared again. It was hard to concentrate on the meaning when the flow is just abrupt and changing.

that sounds painful to deal with. nothing hurts the same way as being in love, and feeling ignored by that person whom you love. why pour your heart into someone who doesn't return it? and yet still we make that mistake, but hopefully not forever.
