Side Effects

Loneliness isn't a feeling.

 

It's a mindset,

a mental attitude

entrenched over years.

 

Even when I've had

a hand to hold,

it wasn't enough.

 

I thought this is what I wanted.

 

All these years I was deprived,

but I didn't consider the side effects.

 

The sorrow I would feel afterwards,

the regret during.

 

At the end of the day 

it won't make me happy,

it will just tear us apart.
