More Vulnerable

I am better alone
I think,
an eclectic coffee table
stacked with books,
I feel more vulnerable to this
than to any lover.

Sugar Rush

A little voice
in my mind
would admit I deeply denied
how his promises
of comfort and love
are empty desire.
A sugar rush.
I feel momentarily moved,
but alone.

Suffer Alone

I seek no love or happiness,
I am content to suffer alone
as once I falsely hoped to meet
a love comparable to mine.
