I'm thinking of submitting this to the lit. magazine, so if you guys like it, feel free to leave feedback as a reply! Also, Miss Exposition, since I'd email this to you at some point anyways, go ahead and copy-paste this into the magazine as one of my 3 poetry submissions.


The One

I've chased this dream
Since the start of my days
Trying to believe
Things will be better today
I pretend I'm okay
But it's not going away
Like it was at 14
When I had my first date

My fate stayed the same
And the girl moved away
How many young lovers
Seem to make it, anyway?
I'm just struggling through the day
Trying to find the one
That's not walking away

Spend a life alone
Maybe then you'll know
How it feels without
Someone close

Like stars in the night
They keep passing me by
Just wasting time
Trying to find love's light
Yet I still try to be
The one they want to see
But is there one for me?
I've tried a thousand times
And heard a thousand goodbyes

I'm in my room, just leaning on the windowpane
Staring at the falling drops of rain
Covering a world
That doesn't know my pain
My school days are silence;
It's all that they want to say
And I'll find myself
Trying to stay by the phone
Because when it rings,
I don't feel so alone
It seems like I'm living this life on my own
It's funny that I call this prison my home

Turn the lights down low
Walk this road alone
Without someone to hold
It's so cold

Like stars in the night
They keep passing me by
Just wasting time
Trying to make this right
And if this all ends up
As a broken dream
If there's truly none for me
Why should I even try
To make light from the night?
