This is beautifully written, it's very relatable to me it's almost as if you took my thoughts and wrote them down. I've had very similar conversations with myself regarding some people.

I love how you've depicted your thoughts as you go from saying you need that person to say but then refusing to ask their help and then going back to wanting them to stay, it's very accurate to life.


Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry.

I can sadly say I relate to this. Being alone is the worst type of company for me. Having said that I feel like half way through the poem you lost me a little because you go from saying 


>But I can’t ask that, can I?

>You’re your own person 

>And I’m selfish

To going and stating that you're better off with them around. It all makes sense but I feel like the piece would have been more impactful had you not done that. The ending line was perfect thought. 

Thank you for sharing.

First I wanna say that I hope that you feel better and I hope that one day you can appreciate your own company. Hard at first but solitude is a superpower. I also hope that you know that you're so much more than nothing. 

I really enjoyed reading this poem. Contrary to what another comment said, I actually do like how you state that "I cant ask that" but then go on to because I feel like that captures what it really is like to be in that moment and how hard it is to do the "right" thing even though you're aware of it. I personally think that you could do without the last line though. Just some thoughts. Really nice poem.

It feel very ordinary it does not make you feel how is like to be a loner. It's like someone is single not lonely.

I love this. I would lime to share it on my platform if you are keen?

I hate being alone 

I hate my company 

My presence

My mind

Please be here with me

And I’ll be fine

But I can’t ask that, can I?

You’re your own person 

And I’m selfish

Asking you to save me

When I’m nothing

I mean nothing

And I have to save myself 

But looking at you

Smelling

Hugging

Kissing you

Makes saving myself easier

With you by my side

And I don’t dread it so much

So please stay a little longer

Hold me a little closer

I’ll be right back
