Loneliness

Loneliness has two forms
The one you feel when you move away from home
Everything is different. Foreign
You’re suddenly aware of how far away your loved ones are
It hits you one day
This huge empty feeling.
Eventually you make friends, find your own space
And the feeling vanishes
Until you have to end up moving again

And then there’s one where you feel lonely
Even though you’re around the people who love you.
Whom you love
That feeling just doesn’t seem to go away
No matter how much you spend time with them
Try to do things that you love
Seek help
It’s always lurking in the shadows
Ready to pounce

Temporary

A passing thing for one
Constant for another
At least that’s what she hoped for
But what it really was
Was an interlude
Short lived. Temporary.

Sweet

They told me he’s not good for me
But how could I forget?
The taste he left on my lips.
That blissful feeling when I saw him.

He was always there to pick me up when I was low
Keeping me warm and happy
That happiness came with a price
A price that I was ready to pay

My mom had started to notice.
How my clothes didn’t fit and how different I looked
She didn’t approve.
But I didn’t mind because I knew he was the one.
My sweet sweet chocolate fudge cake

Coffee

Coffee reminds me of you.
Warm, just like your love.
Reassuring, just like your support.
Sweet, where I find solace.
Bitter, just like your broken promises.
Refusing to let go of me.
