I feel so fucking alone

[mirrorvom]

I long

To be longed for.

Long to have someone to

Come home to,

To prattle on and on about my day,

While we both sip on cups of tea

That were once steaming hot,

But are now cooler than the moon.

I long

To wake up beside someone

Who is as excited to see me

As I am them,

Unsure as to whether they are

Still asleep, or if this is really

A reality that's theirs.

I long

For a hand to hold,

For eyes to gaze into,

For a nose that will brush my own,

For a mouth to kiss.

I long

For someone whose cup

I can freely pour into

While never fearing

That they will leave mine

Empty.

Rivers

Carve permanent grooves into

The skin of the earth,

And the rains

Run off

Disfigures natural landscapes,

Wearing them down over time.

Water is considered

Healing

A source of life

That every organism

Relies on in one way

Or the other,

And yet

It is when a volcano

Erupts,

When tectonic plates

Cause the earth to quiver,

To shake

That causes land

To be created.

I am easier to love

From a distance.

Aging is inevitable.

One day, I will look in the mirror

And see all the signs that I have lived.

My once smooth skin

will be creased and crinkled and

I will have lines around my mouth,

My eyes, between my brows.

I will have wrinkly hands,

Saggy arms and peppered hair.

Walking up the stairs will become an effort,

And people will offer me priority seating

On buses, trams and trains.

I will need glasses for short vision,

Even though I currently wear them

For distance, and I will wonder

Where my youth went.

I cannot slow the progression of time

But I can try to enjoy it,

Before I look back and

Regret it.

Difficult.

I know that I am difficult.

I am difficult to love

Because I am difficult to approach,

Difficult to talk to.

I am difficult to be friends with,

Difficult to relate to,

Difficult to help.

Just difficult.

The sun is setting again

[mirrorvom]

I haven't felt numb in a while and I really hate this feeling. Hate feeling myself succumb to this emptiness.

They say history repeats itself, and if this adage is to prove itself correct, then this is the reverse of the calm before the storm. It is the emotion before the grey.

Or perhaps I am already in the grey.

Misfortune

Follows me like a mist.

Distorts my

Perception of the world,

Of my lot in life.

And maybe this is as good as it gets.

And I just have to be okay with that.

I long for a day

When the air does not suffocate me.

I long for green grass,

A warm sun, the shade of tall trees.

Long for peals of laughter

To be carried away by a light breeze.

I long for grass stained jeans,

A comfortable silence.

Long for life's stressors to be

But a distant memory.

I long for a day

When the water carries me away

And helps me breath.

Embrace the morning glory,

The big, beautiful sun.

His light grows and he

Piques over the horizon.

Feel his warmth as his light

Wakes you gently from your dreams.

Yawn as you brew your

Cup of tea and reflect

On your life.

Fill your heart with hopes.

You may be alone this morning,

But you are not lonely.

Embrace the morning glory,

The big, beautiful sun.

I am drowning beneath

Waves upon waves.

The stormy seas knock me down

Each time I try to surface.

It has been days

Since I have seen the light.

I cradle the shards of your

Soul, hold them close.

Why does it hurt to show you

Tender love,

To spoil you the way I wish to be

Spoiled, to offer you curated

Consideration, no strings attached.

My own heart swells,

Pumping me with endless love

To be given to you,

To everyone but myself.

One day, I will return

The sharpness of your soul,

Knowing a piece of my own is

Lost within it.

And you will be none the wiser.

How much longer

Will I have to carry my sorrows?

The extent of my burden

Only God truly knows

And I yearn for some strength

To borrow.

A jungle.

I navigate through the tangled fauna

Slowly. Vines brush my face

And a chilly breeze keeps me company,

Chilling my spine and reminding me

That I am not welcome.

Breathing becomes laborious

As the thick air tries to suffocate me.

I so badly want to be anywhere else.

I am fearful of being stuck here,

Of being lost,

Forever navigating an ever changing jungle.

Forever trying to escape.

My day dreams lie among

The hills far away.

Fairy dust falls

Off of the trees that sway

And wood winds chime

From a distant chalet.

The sky is stained rich shades

Of blue, purple, pink.

Around the lake, a fishing pole,

A rich coat of mink.

No need for a second thought,

No need to over think,

Life among the far away hills

Is truly idyllic.

I don't know if I have anything else

Left in me to give.
