I feel an overbearing loneliness

I don't know if its just me

Or everyone at 23 feels this way

I don't know if it's you

Or the culmination of you & everyone before you

I thought of another man while I slept in your arms

I remembered how soundly I slept in his

And I longed for him - I still do

How ungrateful of me 

I knew we'd never work out

So I saw this coming

I wanted to enjoy you while I had you

And I did

But it never gets easier to be alone again

[Patrick, 26]

I don't think I could live knowing I was a disappointment to my parents
