I am Here

Here I thought you were my best friend,

But when choice came I found out too late,

You were only trying to  pretend,

So I am left here with pains and ache.

I am here left on the empty shelf,

With no reply and too many questions,

Trying hard to come to myself,

Staring at the wall and finding reasons.

It seems like nothing I did was good,

My esteem slips below self worth,

For me, love was here but I was blind,

Tied to a line here all by myself.

Getting lonelier and passing time,

Hoping for a thought to guide me,

To a place I have never been,

And plunge me through the veil of victory.

Or must I just stay here and quietly give up?

If better luck comes from outside,

I’m here with an optimism look,

I was lost and ready to make the sacrifice,

And give human kind another chance,

For love to come and fill my desire,

And even take the place,

I went low until I drifted further.
