Lonely

Lonely doesn't even begin to cover it...

You ask me why I'm distant 

You wonder why I'm sad

You're confused when I don't want to go out

You expect everything of me

But when it's your turn to reciprocate You fall short 

You let me down

You make promises of the future that will never come true 

You ask me why I'm lazy

You tell me I need to get a life

You comment that I'm always boring

But what do you expect when I'm so Alone

My mind is my only true friend

You were never there for me 

You never asked how I was

You never invited me to come along

You never even considered me as an option

You ditched me for something else 

And you wonder why I'm so bitter

To you I am only a backup plan

A second option

Someone you know won't let you down

You say we should hang out soon

We never hang out anymore

But when the opportunity arises 

You say no, you can't, you have something else to do

Even when you say yeah, ok let's hang out

You call or text an hour later and say something has come up.

I'm tired of putting forth all the effort 

Tired of trying

We were so close once

Inseparable 

But look at us now

You are happy, carefree 

And me...... 

I'm lonely 

Author's Note

I know its a little sloppy in form, but I just needed to get this out of my brain.

This one is really touching and quite emotional.. I don't think that this one is sloppy in any way. This one is well structured and you convey your feelings quite well.

This is a funny world we live in ma'am. We should never expect anything from anyone. Because when people don't reciprocate our feelings, our actions, it really hurts.

A really good write :)

No it is fine. It speaks the truth out loud. I am the same way. Trust me. Introverted, Withdrawn, depressed, and life is very depressing. Blessed Be and Merry Meet Lady Karissa

7 billion people in this world and unfortunately almost everyone is lonely one time or another. I really like how straightforward and honest you are to yourself about your feelings, it is always important for a writer to be open. I suggest, in consideration of this poem, exploring or experimenting with more ways of expressing your feelings in your writing, more than just straightforwardly, it can help you get more in touch with other sides of yourself as both a writer and person. Good job :) !

This hits home for me, because I have recently endured something very similar. Your feelings are very clearly conveyed, I really like this.
