Lonely Words from a Lonely GirlA Poem by Kaitlyn RaifordMy 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?
