The end of a relationship
Alone by Jaysa Manning
Rhyming Poem contest entry

Why do I feel alone

When you're in the same room

Why do I feel alone

And why do I begin to assume

That you don’t love me

Enough to spend your time

If I want your attention

I must spend a dime

I must entertain you

So that you will stay

I feel like a roommate

Almost every single day

I pick up your garbage

I pick up your laundry

You place them right back

Almost to taunt me

You make false promises

You bail on our plans

I have to beg for a date

I have to beg to hold hands

Just for once

I want you to think of me

Just for once

I want to feel like I'm free

Can I get a break or rest?

I want to hang with friends too

Just cause I'm not at work

Doesn't mean I'm not working for you

When is it my turn?

To evade my responsibilities

When do I get to lean

On your capabilities?

Why do I feel alone

When you are right there

Why do I feel like

You aren't able to hold care
