One I Lost

I was a very lonely kid.

Everything I wanted,

I couldn't have.

What I wanted

wasn't about money,

but love and comfort.

I had attention

from family and friends,

yet still I was lonely

(somehow).

Then I became attached

to this someone,

the one who inspired me,

the one who I trusted,

who gave me support,

the one who gave me

love and comfort.

Within a short time

he stopped calling,

he stopped seeing me.

It seemed as if he just

disappeared.

I wanted to die.

Without him life

didn't mean

anything to me.

But he returned,

and joy and happiness

were mine again.

I thought we would

never be separated again.

He told me to never do

anything stupid.

He made me promise.

And so I did.

But then he was gone forever.

Disappeared completely.

I am still devestated,

but I keep his promise.

Now I turn to my true

best friend, but it's not

always enough. The idea

of not living enters

my head, but I remember

the promise I made.
