This has been tugging my heartstrings
for as long as I can remember

I look around and try to find things that can
get my mind off it

I had relationships that temporarily got it off

But loneliness is still there.

It will be there no matter what.
No matter what you do,
No matter how you dress,
No matter what you say,
No matter what you're in,
It will be there
bugging you,
pushing you,
breaking you
until you start crying

You try to blame it on other people
so you don't feel the shame
but the pointing will always come back to you.

You finally realize it's your fault
but you do nothing to fix it
because you didn't have enough time to find the answer
because you were too caught up blaming it on other people

You lost yourself,
trying to find another you.

Now, you're back at the same place.

Sad, lonely, crying.
You just have to realize that loneliness is part of life,
it will always be there.
