Most Lonely Feeling of All

This time of year is always hard for me.

I see everyone around me in love

and more than anything I wish I could be.

I can’t even walk in a Walmart for

at least another two weeks, minimum,

because to see all of those shelves full of

trinkets that to show how much you care

remind me how little no one in my life does.

I’m not saying that a $5 stuffed animal

or a stale heart box of chocolates

measures how much some one loves you,

but when you have none of those things,

it makes it glaringly obvious to all

that I have not a person in my life

that was even willing to give it a try

and that it the most lonely feeling of all.
