“Companions For Never”
(Tom Entrican, 3/9/2023)
The seven year old who kissed my cheek
Closing my eyes to savor the joy
That first kiss knocked me right off my feet
But alas she dumped me for a shiny new toy
Then at seventeen I found my true love
A beauty was she at four feet eleven
The life that I offered was not enough
The girl of my dreams, companions for never
And many a crush set my heart a flutter
None of whom ever knew I existed
The popular crowd not a word they would utter
For I was never quite an a-lister
Then one I was sure, my true soul mate
Whose love so true, it seemed however
Left a hole in my heart, still here today
Where dreams fell out, companions for never
No more am I looking for that dream again
Nor hope for a love that endures
For what is the sense to invite all the pain
If loneliness ends up the cure
But friendships abound and soften the blow
And who knows, at times I am clever
Though not good enough to make a spark grow
Till I fly home with my companions forever

differentiate loneliness from
chosen, solitude
it's ok to give up on love
just
don't give up on yourself
acceptance, is a good place to start
stay strong! thanks for sharing
(forgive me if my words annoy
or trigger
a negative reaction, in you
I merely meant to offer words of support)
