I don't want to be alone.
I can't trust anyone again,
I was once foolish.
Being vulnerable caused only pain,
Insecurity caused me to believe you.

I don't want to be alone.
When you said "I love you",
I thought you would protect me.
Your touched filled the emptiness,
Your voice relieved all the pain.

I don't want to be alone.
Although I knew I wasn't your only,
I desired any attention from you.
I wanted to feel the pain of your betrayal.

I don't want to be alone.
Deep within I knew you only wanted on thing,
I knew I could never be truly loved.
I wanted to feel anything, even pain.

The author's comments:
I don't regret my mistake, cause they make me the person I am today. With that said this poem is about almost sharing something special with the first person that said I love you to me ccause I was alone and felt unloved.
