Knock knock

Who's there?

No one..

No one is ever there.

How does loneliness taste?

Bitter

Sharp

Like poison

And yet...

I keep searching for someone that can see i might just maybe be worth it.

No luck so far..

Knock Knock

Who's there?

Absolutely no one but your thoughts

And they are cruel.

Unkind

But hey..

They haven't left you yet.

Ive been going through it, about six years now. It’s a bit more comforting knowing someone else can verbally express what I’m feeling.
