Loneliness Poem by Sarah Whiley

Everyone tells me you'll be fine,
it'll be okay.

And it is in the light of day,
when there are people to talk to,
and things to do.

But the thoughts creep in
when there is nothing to do.

No one to talk to,
no one to listen.

I lay there with words seeping in,
thinking I'm unlovable as sin.

Emotions and thoughts
crash over me like waves.

Thinking I'm depraved.

You made me think I was disgusting,
while you were the one who is.

I'm screaming for you to see me,
while you ignore me.

You don't want to see me,
or my hurt.

I screamed for you to see me.
I begged for you to hear me.

But you turned your face away,
and left me drowning in the dark.

And I still wonder,
if you'll ever know
how much of me you broke.
