hollowed in

alone,so alone surrounded by supposed love
love that was true now manifested into comfort
and fear of the truth.
going through motions for so long that my emotions
have looped into a standstill.
three steps backward for every two steps sideways,
as we try and avoid the last step downward.
the pent up overwhelms me but i know it has
to stay inside or else the explosion will damage
more than just the two of us.
so its another day of hollow i love you's and mindless
have a great day kisses and I'll see you later.

rinse and repeat.
forever.
we find out who we are when we find out who we love

    Sometimes I'm glad to be single. Particularly when I read a poem like that.
    I wish I was a Democrat
    One that had a chance to win
    I wish I was a Republican
    But would I be a human being?

    "and then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small cafe in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong in the world all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right and no one had to get nailed to anything. Sadly, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it, a terrible stupid catastrophe occurred, and the idea was lost forever."
