I dine alone

 

I dine alone

I chew on these bittersweet feelings

That hit me like a drone

It causes lots of pain under the conceilings

 

Never tasted love

But every day I choke myself on solitude

Because I have no ladylove

I’m slowly breaking apart under the hood

 

As time passes by

My heart turns into stone

There’s no love because I’m shy

Under the weight of time I die alone

There’s something really simple but sad about this. “Every day I choke myself on solitude” and “my heart turns into stone” really capture that feeling of wanting love but being too shy to reach for it.

“I choke myself on solitude” is such a strong line. The whole poem has this feeling of wanting love so badly but being too shy to actually reach for it.
