#30in30 2016, Day Thirteen: The Placeholder

Looking around at me at this party
everybody's got somebody
but me
That's why I don't like going out
I don't like the reminders
of being lonely
You gotta get along by yourself
before you can ever
appreciate somebody else
But I'm so single right now
so damn single
somebody help

Somebody fill in the space
next to me
Don't gotta love me
Don't even gotta like me
Just be
right
here
With me
for a minute or two

Liquor makes me warm
since I can't rest in her arms
It's pathetic, I know
I watch them dance and enjoy
each other's company while I'm
at the bar solo
You gotta appreciate the moments
you have on your own
before a companion comes along
But I've been here this whole time
and nobody's noticed me
It's killing me

Somebody hug me from behind
or kiss me upfront
Don't gotta feel me
Don't even gotta chill with me
Just act
like
you
might care
'Til this loneliness pass
