Now again, I'm single
But its not this tragic event
I thought it was going to hurt
Alot more than it did
I feel so numb, almost empty
My soul growls for more to feed on
Its hungry again
This feeling that resides around me
It is not new, its annoying
But is almost comforting
Knowing I only have to worry about myself
And sometimes, not even that
Someone else looked out for me
Used to show me affection
She actually cared
I cared for her as well
As much as I could
I showed affection, often as a tease
I also told her what's to come
In the years, she didn't believe me
She'll realize now, these years will sear
I used to be told I was loved
I told her the same
I still believe her
I always will
No more of that, unless I find someone else
This simple numbness
Its hard to describe
Why
It exist
For my safety?
For others?
To show my darkest side?
My least liked side?
I am like this every time
That I am alone
No one to love me
Or kiss me
No one says I believe in you
Its why I can trudge along
Through the least likely conditions
And be ok,
I've gone through most things, twice, alone
Oh well
Guess I'll have to get used to
This loneliness
Caused by Breaking up
This feeling I've come to know as "Lonely"
Guess I'm Lonely Again
Author notes
ment to seem monotone, so don't be tellin' me it doesn't have a colorful vocabulary
I did just have to break up with someone, if I know u closely, I've either already told you, or you have permission to ask.
hoping to get another girlfriend before i become suicidal again.

I do feel for you for once I knew
In the time when you are alone does that person within
feel like it feeds on you for I have been there . You cant really explain it to ones who doesnt know but I felt that way for years and I felt like only another person could protect me from myself.That is until someone taught me to quit being my worst enemy and get to tryuly know that person find out what is in this world that turns me on ehat excites me what pisses me off and having every right to feel this way that person was a best friend he wouldnt allow any closeness other than that until I fund that person he could see but I refused to see .And when I in time started getting out and seeing what I had missed in life thats when he took my hand and let me then know what love was not dependency on another but real love to stay. Excellewnt write here and best of luck in the contest

This is a raw point of view and I like it!
No glitter, just the facts of emotion. -
You have penned a piece that we ALL have live through ourselves. At some point in our lives we have been where it is you are in this piece. We question everything and still nothing. We accept without accepting and deny that in which is seen, known and felt. In the end we can all relate one at least one level. Thank you for entering. Best of luck to you!
Blessings

very intese piece...the reader can totally feel the emotion seeping out of the pages....that feeling of hollowness...the bitterness of feeling no pain, because the pain has made the heart numb and the body cold....
