Nobody Loves Poem by Beatrice Preti

If nobody loves you, do you shrivel and die?
You can’t live without love, so why even try?
If nobody loves you, then there’s nobody there
To hug you or hear you or act like they care
If nobody loves you, then there’s no one at all
To stay with you, hold your hand, or answer your calls
If nobody loves you, then your heart won’t be fed
It will slowly stop beating, and then you’ll be dead
If nobody loves you, then your love is one-sided
Because people must love, that’s what God decided
If nobody loves you, then you will be empty
You can’t smile, laugh, or joke, or even be friendly
Because, if nobody loves you, then no one will know
If your time has expired, and your soul must go
If nobody loves you, then no one will cry
At your grave and remember the day that you died
If nobody loves you, will your spirit go on?
Or will you fade into darkness, as the whole world moves on?
