Lonely Ones

Summary:

A poem about losing someone held dear.

Notes:

In my four years of being on AO3, I never once thought I'd post an original work on here, but hey, never say never. I'm taking something of a break from the Internet at the moment, though AO3 will mostly be exempt from that break because I want to continue my fanfictions (just don't expect any comments to get replies for a bit). Lately I've been having trouble with one of my friends, and I wrote this poem as a way to express my feelings. It is a vent piece, but it's more sad than triggering, at least I hope. I hope you enjoy this, and I also hope that everyone who finds this poem takes care of themselves and understands that they have people who care about them.

Work Text:

I wish we hadn’t done it,
but the deed has been done,
and now we are both broken,
a pair of lonely ones.

What once was sun and rainbows
is now skies of gray,
but my beating heart is hollow,
and my lips have naught to say.

We keep going in circles
as you fight for your desires,
while I stay put and pout
as the flames grow higher and higher.

Now we’re separated,
troubled, troubled souls;
I hope that soon we’ll reunite
and refill the growing holes.

Wherever you are right now,
I hope you’re doing fine,
and I hope that you achieve your dreams
and that life will treat you kind.

As for me, I sit and frown,
fearing what might be lost.
I try to write and find myself,
paying a silent cost.
