I wrote this poem in Feb and find it still rings my truth. I felt the need to post this tonight.
The first letter of each line spells… Loneliness…
***********************************************************************
Longing for someone to hold me
Only my cat and body pillow support me
Nodding my head yes to every invitation
Expecting to have fun but never meeting anyone
Learning to enjoy time alone
Increasingly aware that I am different now
Nothing is the same
Euphoria lasts only a moment
Sadness creeps in along with fear
Sensing it’s my fate but refusing to accept it
Life On The Cancer Train
