Cold on alone in the old feather duvet
Laying here wondering how time has passed
Where were people
And where was love
As I laid here I fell into a dream
Where wishes came true and love was real
As long as I've lived I haven’t doubted in love for a bit
But now as the night gets closer and darkness surrounds me I’m not so sure
If love was real then why am I alone tonight?
Why are people crying as I sit here and repeat the tears from the waterfall of gold loving water
Love and anxiety is the new match
We can’t control what we have never felt
Love was so close, so I thought
Love was so near to my heart, so I thought
But disappeared the day that I opened my eyes to the darkness and clarity
I’ve been fooled and played around but still haven’t stopped believing
Tell me your story, tell me your sorrows and show me your future
Let me love you, let me stay tonight
I’m only human but I haven’t lost my soul
I’m still capable of loving, still capable of caring…
Why can’t you do the same?
All I need from someone is caring and someone to believe in me
I’m full of anger and full of anxiety
I ain’t happy no more
The smile has slowly disappeared from my face even though I tried to keep it
Putting up a straight look to my face trying not to show them the damage that they made
I’m only human I believed when you said that you love me
How can a best friend do this to her mate?
How can someone lie for so many years?
I’m happy that I finally came to know the truth
Thanks for nothing
Thanks for making my doubt in love and people to trust
You can’t trust anyone, that’s what I’ve learned for a little bit a life experience
But there’s one thing I don’t understand?
Then you can’t trust me?
I know you can trust me… or is that just a fantasy…

Hi there
I had this hole intellectual comment planed in my head as I was reading your poem. However all I actually want to say. Even though it's sad, don't give up on love. God bless
Greetings

It must be hard to keep on believing in something when so many times it has been trampled into the dirt.
I'm sure too many people have told you to keep on having faith and things will turn out the way you want.
Faith has to come from you though, not because someone tells you it should.
Fingers crossed that everything happens the way YOU want it to.

| Great poem. Really love the use of the feather duvet as a metaphor for the futility of finding comfort from the desolation of the emotion. There is a strong pull to the rhythm of this poem. It is evocative of waters and currents which is further evocative - on account of the theme - of Ophelia drowning. A lot comes together to make a beautiful work. |
