Cursed At Birth and Lonely

Such a romantic soul am I But I live my life in limbo As time flays by Each day one step further To the grave Cursed by loneliness Void of love I so need and crave. It hurts so much when I am in town With so many women and couples around Everyone seems to have someone but me I am just another face in the crowd That no one really sees For I am invisible don't seem to measure up Although I try to friendly and kind it's never good enough. Everywhere I look sex is in my face But I need so much more a tender touch And warm embrace It can't be normal to not be touched Or wanted by another human being Loneliness took me to some dark places I rather not have been. I don't want to die alone And be discovered dead in my bed With fly's at the window pain My heart feels like it's kicked like a football My loneliness is killing me And almost drove me insane. Never truly loved never missed No flowers or mourners at my funeral I'll soon be dust and nothing at all. But all I ever wanted was a wife and a child I drink till I'm drunk to ease the pain Each day I live a nightmare I cannot change. Peter Dome,Copyright.2015. May.

Hi Peter Sad and heartfelt write.. loneliness and being alone can be two different things, or one and the same. I like to be alone, but not lonely. The theme is a universal topic which your poem depicts well #7 xx~xx

Thank you so much Kim. I think your right about the two,. Some times being alone for a while a desirable thing, gives us a kind of break to do things we enjoy, however going shopping hor clothes and not having anyone to ask how you look is another for example, take good care. best wishes. Pete.

Peter, this is a sad and emotional piece. I find myself crying once again. As others said before me you seem to be a nice guy. Don't give up on love because you haven't met her yet. When you meet her you'll know.-Alexis

Ok, I read this sad poem and saw other comments to find out if it was true. Gosh dang, it IS true. I can't believe it, Peter. YOu are so charming here at soup. You need to take your attitude and personality from here and into the world of dating! I read what you said to Jan. I think you are finding women in the wrong places if they want to get beat up. WHAT? Find women at a church or just in a grocery store or something. Be happy and love will follow.

Hi my friend. hope you are ok. Yes it's true. I'm good to everyone even strangers, but women like men, can sometimes be cruel and spiteful with cutting remarks. I just don't know what women want any more. and I'm fed up of trying. yes girls wanted me to beat them, some fantasie about being raped. not that kind of guy. thank you. Pete.

so you like tattooed girls, huh? A long time ago I had considered getting a blue rose between my shoulder blades. That would have been fun!

Tattooed or not, if your available. ha ha. I've got the ink you provide the skin. A rose for a beautiful rose. I've had your name tattooed on my heart since I first new you. You only have to say tattoo and I'll be there in a flash. One small problem, I couldn't inflict pain on another human being, all though they inflict on me. thank you. take care my friend Pete.

Sorry Jan don't know what happened. but I try so hard. but it's never good enough, just rejection rejection rejection. and I'm so kind and loving. I see scruffy smelly guys with nice women, what do you have to do. I've been told I'm too nice. girls want bad guys. Some girls in the past asked me why I didn't beat them up. because other ex boyfriends did. When I used to go out a few years ago. all women wanted to do was to get me into bed. but I didn't want to. it really upset me because no one really wanted me for who I was. just a one night stand. thank you Pete,
