wilted

i wish i could tell you that my last poem reflects how i feel today,
but the reality is that it doesn't

today, my heart feels like a wilted flower,
what once was beautiful
is now almost gone

you see, my world is full of couples and best friends,
everywhere i look,
there's two people who love each other more than anything else
and i look to my side and

there's no one.

not even somebody who's a few steps away

i'm just miles and miles away from everyone else

and my heart wilts a little more every time i look

i try, and i try to make it grow back on my own,
but it's impossible

and it's hard to wait for someone to come along,
someone that seems worth the time and effort

i've told myself over and over

just wait, someone will come along

but the longer i wait

the harder it is to keep going on like this
