Forever Alone – Free Verse 

Lily standing alone in a forest, wearing all black and using an umbrella.

Why does no one want me? 

Why does no one desire me?  

No, some do desire me, but like my grandfather, they only want to use me.  

Why am I alone? 

Why must I be alone?  

I’ve been alone for 3 decades, 3 decades hidden away. Hiding away from the world.  

Why must I be strong? 

Why must I endure until they find me?  

Going to many events, putting myself out there. Wanting someone to talk to me. Some do, but the right one never does.   

When will the loneliness end? 

How much longer do I have to wait? 

I’m beautiful, sexy, and desirable. I’m an amazing person. I know it, my friends know it. 

So, why am I alone?  

Why does no one want me?  

I don’t know what to do next, but I guess I’ll do it alone. I’m done with dating apps, I’m done hoping that cute girl will talk to me. I’m done trying. 

It hurts to much.

I’m Lily

Lily Lulonut, a woman with long red hair wearing a wide-brimmed grey hat and fae ears, standing outdoors in natural light.

I’m Lily Lulonut. I’m a writer, a witch, and a devoted servant of Lilith. I write everything from poetry to personal essays. My life, my craft, my transition, and everything in between. A little dark, a little nerdy, and always honest.
