Little Couples

Left and right all I see
Is the little couples looking at me
Bounded by their hands
I feel alone, and lost in white sands

Bitter agony in my heart
When I see the couples, I fall apart
They are always so glad
Just seeing them so happy makes me mad

Nobody likes me for who I am
I feel like I got hit by a ram
Just thinking about it all takes away my breath
Every time I see the happy couples I feel closer to death

Sometimes I get so upset i can not breathe
I am lost without someone to hold my hand
Someone to always remind me they are right there
Someone to always say, "I care."

Oh I know exactly what you mean. I see all the couples so happy and it just makes me want to cry...I hate being alone. Well, I guess we'll find someone one day, right? *sigh* [good poem, very deep, gets me right at my heart]

Very sad but I understand perfectly. I was like that after my husband died. I have now got a partner but it was very hard in the early days. Pam.
