Awaiting Love (Poem by Gabby)

Am I the only one who falls asleep lonely? With only a chipped heart beating too slowly. Am I supposed to grow older in solitude- Or do I have a chance to find a love so true? I feel like my hands will always be empty, And I wonder if anyone will ever hold me. If this freckle-painted skin will ever be touched. As insecurities flood in; Will I ever be enough? Will anyone ever smile at me in that way? Or tell me that they love me every single day? I can’t be the only one who wants things like these, But oftentimes, I feel like it really is only me. Is loneliness a permanent inscription in my book? Will I ever gain a man’s second look? Oh, how I wonder if it’s already set in stone, That I’ll spend my time entirely alone. But I have hope that I’ll find a true love; Somebody I can open up to and fully trust. Maybe he’s been praying for a girl just like me- Awaiting a love he’s yet to meet.
