Solace

A poem for when you are alone, or with someone, but feeling alone. Even when you're just, plain left out. Heartbroken? Maybe.

Was I not worthy of your love?

For you often seem to look

For another perfect man to please

The hungry souls you took.

Was I too unconvincing,

Undeserving of the truth,

That you'll go out with me and him

And a few friends to boot?

No, never did I speak of it,

But I did understand

That you could kiss and hug him

While I closely held your hand.

And all those silent moments,

I did thought that they were grand

Until I found out, in your ship

I wasn't in command.

I'm lonely yes, I do admit

I'm begging for attention;

The love and care you promised me

That you now seldom mention.

Now I sit, I lie in wait,

And I hope it's not too late

To tell you...

I'm alone.

I'm lonely.

I'm screaming, can't you hear?

The only solace I could hope for is to see you standing here.
