Loneliness Poems
You're My Deep Breath
by Frangipani Rhett
Today my child slammed the door too hard
And I took a deep breath and thought of you
You set the standard for how to show love
And so I shifted towards compassion
Last Sunday I met up with a friend for coffee
And she talked for so long, I got bored
I took a deep breath and thought of you
And remembered the presence you gave me

The supporting wheel
by Urmila Singh
I am always the friend who supports you ,
the friend who helps you ,
the friend who doesn’t care ,
if the way I treat you is how you do .
I will be walking behind you in rain ,
holding an umbrella for you
so u don’t get wet .
I will be walking behind you
in pain ,
thinking if my feelings are right

.I Don't Really Wanna Die Anymore
by Frangipani Rhett
I Don't Really Wanna Die Anymore
I don't really wanna die anymore
Except for when I do
I don't really hate my life anymore
Except for when I'm blue
I don't cry too much anymore
Since my heart broke in two

Love bombing
by Marra Makinen
Why is love bombing a bad thing?
Given another name, it's not nearly as ill-intentioned:
Praise, lavishment, veneration.
I'd rather be bombarded with remarks of admiration
Than be met with resentful acts and indignation
My admirers may wear double-sided veils
And their bombs may be strategically cast
But who am I to dissuade such adoration-

Searching for you...?
by Christine Kuruvilla
I search for the warmth of your arms,
But it seems too distant for me to find...
The world it tries to tear me apart,
Like I’m an object they own.
The world ‘sees’ me,
Stripping me of my mind, body and soul.
One day the glass will shatter,
Let me fall into your arms-
Let me break apart and fall into your arms again.

I don't really wanna die anymore

I don't really hate my life anymore

I don't cry too much anymore
Since my heart broke in two
I don't know where I am in this world

Except for when I do

Spotify Stalking
by Frangipani Rhett
I cried so hard last night
That I played a song on repeat
It was one I pulled from a Spotify playlist
That I want to assume is yours
It sounds like a lullaby
And I imagined you singing it to me
Telling me it'll be alright
And running your fingers down my face

Unfound Love
by Michael J. Nappi
Unfound love,
fills my heart
swells four chambers
spills from fractures
Puddles pile high
depths greater than my soul.
Rivulets of longing
shatter self reflection
