I'm Trying To Shake Off Being Lonely
This is it
Time is a killer
It always is
This is it
Her hands firmly grip my wrists
I can feel her
She loved me like nobody else ever did
I wish she would hold me
It's one in the morning,
and I'm trying to shake off being lonely
The one that had actually gotten to know me
It's one in the morning,
and I'm trying to shake off being lonely
Pain is a killer
Always well hid
This is it
Didn't stand a chance against her kiss
If only you could see her
She loved me like nobody else ever did
I wish she would hold me
It's one in the morning,
and I'm trying to shake off being lonely
The one who had actually gotten to know me
It's one in the morning,
and I'm trying to shake off being lonely

Can really feel this
Beautifully written!!
I like this one.
I feel like these words would make good song lyrics!
amazing poem
Your poetry is always so unique, the song lyric qualities pairing well with your rhythmic skill and repetition. It’s a treat to read! The emotions here stand out starkly against a mundane experience of insomnia and heartache. I feel for the speaker. Love this! Congratulations on Top Story!! 👏👏👏💕 Happy to see your name up there at last.
Wonderfully written poem! Congrats on Top Story
This was sublime and totally deserving of Top Story. The repetition took on deeper meaning as the poem progressed. Just...awesome and emotive.
Nice! This gives me Ed Sheeran vibes.
Brilliant text
Powerful piece on separation, can't quite tell if the pain was caused by uncontrollable events or by mistakes made. At 1am when loneliness hits, podcasts are great.
Very powerful and emotional. Congratulations on Top story ❤️
Congratulations on the Top Story! This is powerful poetry. Love the repetition of important sentences.
