I Am No Longer Alone


In the beginning, I felt like dying

Everyday was the same filled with my constant sighing

I could not bring forgiveness to myself

I am alone

 

I settled for someone who only brought me stress

My life was constantly a mess

This man did not bring me any warmth 

I always felt alone

 

Then one day, he returned

My best friend that I subconsciously yearned

He brought me a smile and taught me selflove 

Perhaps I am no longer alone

 

I prayed to God to take away that ungrateful man

I could no longer stand his drug stained hands

I would rather be with my best friend

Because with him, I did not feel alone.

 

That relationship finally came to an end

I cried tears of joy and felt my heart starting to mend

I happily returned to my best friend

I am no longer alone.

 

My self hatred was finally put to an end

I truly do love my current best friend

He introduced a new light and a way of living

I am not alone.
