Loneliness
There exists a void inside my soul
A void that grows bigger every day
And threatens to envelop me
I’m more than this. I need to me
More than
This
But I yearn for the touch of your hand
For my hands tingle just at the thought of you
I hunger for the smooth feeling of your lips
For mine hurt just at the mere thought
I need to lie with you for hours
To feel your warm body against my cold, thin, frail, needy one
And who the fuck even are you?
Are you real? Do you exist?
Or did I just make you up to keep the
Void from consuming me?
You could be
Anyone
But I don’t want just anyone.
I need you. Someone who truly loves me.
Someone I’ll wake up thinking fondly of
Someone who will fall asleep with my eyes on their mind
I need to be loved, to be held, to be wanted
Before the void
Consumes me
Eternally

I'm a 16 year old girl who probably won't be an English major in college but who still enjoys creative writing. I made this account to anonymously post my poems- not just the good ones that I like people to see, but the ones I've never shown people before or that people rarely read. Things you should know about me to help you better understand my poetry: -I struggled with accepting that I am a part of the LGBT community when I was 14 years old and lost one of my best friends because she had an issue with it. -I suffer from anxiety and, though people don't seem to think I did, depression when I was younger. My mental health was worst in my sophomore year, where many of the poems with numbered titles were written. -I had a girlfriend for a month, but her family began mistreating her because of me, causing her to break up with me. I wrote many a poem about her and my feelings about the relationship. -I was led on for several months by the most adorable psychopath I've ever met.
