- Loser, loser, lover
(Poem by me)

I approach anyone I see
Strike up conversations interesting to me
When I sleep, I imagine someone's arms
Hugging me, protecting me from harm

And I can feel such sensation
Which only creates frustration
I talk to my walls
Imagining, that I am on a phone call

Somehow, I hear someone answer
So I take off my armour
Sometimes I have dreams
Where I return to old routines

Where they are still alive
Where both survived
Where I hug them for one last time
It almost feels like a sign

As others my age formed bonds
And achieved, what they longed
I leaned against the railings
Recounting my failings

While staring down the city's river
Perhaps I would reconnect with her
And I knew, it was hopeless
Tearfully, I smiled in acceptance

I will never capture anyone's attention
As I sink down this depression
I will never be anyone's desire
People grow of me tired

No one may cherish me
Or remember any anniversaries
I may miss out on such experiences
And forever stay curious

I may never get to share my joy
And of romance, I will stay devoid
But finding happiness will be a gift
That they would give, had they lived
