PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I've been alone all my life

looking for someone

to come alongside me

and face this world together. 

I counted on the wrong people

and when they were taken away,

I lost a part of who I was too.

But all this time I was 

selling myself short,

giving discounts to strangers.

I used people like 

they are objects, not humans-

relationships were transactions.

No wonder I was alone.

I spent every night wrapped 

in my own arms wondering why

life wasn't going the way

I had always hoped for.

I fought through the darkness 

and I was losing the battle,

every day becoming weaker.

I was feeling hopeless, lost;

I didn't know where to turn

until I looked up to the heavens.

Then I realized you were by my side,

from the beginning you were with me,

loving me when no one else did.

Your love transformed me,

taking my broken pieces

and reshaping me into something new.

I took the long way but

for once and all I'm finally home; 

Now I see I was never alone.
