My emotions,
rage against me.
I will not pretend,
yet here I be.
Happiness and contentment,
I had many years.
Those feelings aren't present,
and these are my fears.
Forlorn is a condition,
I'm feeling right now.
Wanting to talk with someone,
but not knowing how.
I hesitate to show
interest in someone,
I do not wish to promote,
a false promise to anyone.
