Loneliness Poem by Angelique' Rockwell

I feel so alone
I just want to cry
I hate feeling like this
And don't know why

I'm alone by my choice
I don't want to be with my ex
I work more than I see the kids
And the only comfort I have is sex

The men in my life
They come and they go
They aren't there when I need them
No wonder I get so low

My friends all have jobs
Or they up and move out of town
We're all growing up and apart
Passing around the wedding gown

But nights are the hardest
Trying to find a friend
Man or woman
When will the loneliness end?
