This Cruel World Poem, by Nix, at My poetic side

I wish we were something more than friends

I wish we were lovers, at least in secret

I wish we could send each other sneaky messages in class

That say “I love you” or “wanna hang at mine this arvo?”

I wish we could spend hours messaging each other

Trying to plan our next date

But we keep getting distracted

Sadly, none of that will happen

Because we simply can't exist

In this cruel world

Why did no one tell me that falling for straight guys

Causes some of the most immense pain you can ever feel?

This cruel world leads to some deep heartbreaks

I'm a part of this club, even though I don't want to be

I wish I could just move on

But love isn't that simple

It's never that simple, sad to say, and across the board too. Imagine having to go through life with mates and colleagues all suffering in each one's respective inward worlds. The masks we wear grows heavier each day. So relatable. Thanks for sharing.
