Levels Of Loneliness

sometimes I reach out to you

we touch, but never really feel

sometimes when I’m feeling blue

you make my color spill

sometimes when Ive lost control

you hug my fears away

and sometimes when Im needing more

I’m left in my mistakes

sometimes the world is wonderful

I feel the sunlight on my face

sometimes I’m feeling awful

and everything is out of place

sometimes I feel confused with so much left to lose

sometimes I just can’t move on even when I’m trying to

no matter where you found me

I’m always living on some ledge

being all I’m meant to be

with my feet coupling the edge

    Love this Kelli. Really sums up how I feel atm. Is it a winter thing? Who knows...

  • Living on the edge. Why do some of us feel it while others seem to be so practical 😜. You summed it up well indeed.

    You are so right it does depend on how we feel. Sometimes we do need to be alone. Good job.
