Lonely

I remember once upon a time
When life wasn’t so bad
When I wasn’t so bitter
Reminiscing on the things that I had

But now I’m just cold
No day goes I’m astounded 
Same routine absence feeling
Even though I’m surrounded

By people who love and care
Enough to be there without question
So why must I feel this emptiness
Why must there be loneliness in my possession

Its like I’m missing something
Like I’ve lost a piece in me
Or like I’m distracted by things
That has happened and I don’t have any peace in me 

Still no one to talk to
On those empty nights I attend
And on the outside it seems clean
But its all just pretend

But in life your all you have
And honestly life is only
Whatever you make it
And I guess I made mine lonely

Trey, I think we all go through periods of loneliness. Makes us appreciate it so much more when someone special comes along, friend or love. I felt you here. Hang in there. Good things come to good people. Wonderful poetry. Love, Shar
