All Alone

Sometimes I pretend I have him
I think about our lives and I grin
Then I remember there's no him there
No him to hold my hand, no him to care
Everyone around me, in love and married
I'm here alone, like a corpse, buried 

Tick, Tock, the time goes by 
Do I look up to 'God' and ask him why
I'm alone in this world with no him in sight
Just me by myself on this cold lonely night
Will I die this way, old and grey with no bae 
That can't be my life 'coz that **** is cray

I question myself, all the time
Am I fat? Am I ugly? I know I'm no dime 
But I have a heart of gold that should be shared
But all they do is break hearts with no feelings spared
So my self-esteem decreases and my confidence falls low
And still I try and smile so these feelings will go

Everyone says 'Don't worry Bukola you'll find someone eventually'
But eventually, regretfully, medically doesn't produce heavenly biology to make pregnancy
I stare at my phone, no messages, no calls 
Alone and neglected just me and four walls
So with this I say goodnight in hopes that I might find a knight 
With good height to take flight and make me feel as high as a kite.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
