Ultimately Alone

For the last few years
Though they feel like centuries
I have wanted to be held
To have someone special
Take me into their arms
Give me the protection
And safety
That I yearn for so much
Though I never
See it happening
For how could someone love me?
I can barely tolerate myself
How could someone love me?
If I can't even love myself
No one wants a person
Who has to fake a smile
No one wants a person
That is constantly low
And fighting off demons
Too many faults
To contradict the good
For all of my faults
Will leave me ultimately alone
