Ready to check out

Am I to be shattered?
Been broken hearted galore
I have but one companion;
Loneliness-
My constant paramour.
Still I try to leave the light on
Maybe it’s time to close the door.

How many more bruises can I take?
With all this bending for bending’s sake
I have reached my threshold
And am bound to break...

I have a concern-
It may be time to leave
My stories have crumbled
What of love;
I sit and weep.
Reached out to folks-
They all flee,
So the problem lands at my feet
Must have made them sick
With my disease

For just a glimpse I was likeable.
Though never loved,
It was heaven and I was pleased
It was over before it begun.

Now if briefly to be granted
what I never knew:
Someone to share this poem with
an embrace to see me through.
