loneliness is okay.

kiss the loneliness your heart feels

the forever pain

that is really not forever

it’s okay

if you used to love a bed

a home

that isn’t there anymore

it’s okay

to feel small

it’s okay

to hate yourself

the longing you feel

needs a smile

and your kisses

will make you realize

the different existences

that were once a broken home

sad and hurt

are not just an innocent human

a soul full of wonder

a moment moving slowly

that leaves your arms

not so lonely

anymore

 

it is better to forget the lonely

to stop holding the form’s presence

in sadness

in a hope that seems to be constantly

far from the surface

but comes in

tasting like water

instead of blood

looking like a lovely warmth

and perfection

that can only be found through tears

and a certain touch

aching fingers

outside the breadth of the home

reaching closer

to a new, sure death

changing into kind, sweet branches

that quietly beckon stronger reasons

for living

and finally

your bones will believe

that they exist to be soft

under their flesh

and that dreams are able to actually

exist outside of despair

outside of rain

and outside of fear and blood
