Dog Lonely

Dog Lonely

If I'm truly honest with myself
I would admit
my late twenties were terribly lonely

after a battle to leave toxic love
I found myself
lonely in a different way
when you're lonely in love that's just unbearableΒ 
but now I was lonely by choice

and some nights
I was so lonely
I could have fucked a dog
I say could have
just to show my level of loneliness

of course I didn't fuck a dog
but loneliness
certainly has its moments.

I've been saving this, you have always been open about loneliness, most cannot push it to the surface of the real. I've wanted to say my height of loneliness is Dinner for one: a single serve frozen lasagna, and for a salad side, spinach leafs right out of the pack. My point? Since I had that thought, I'm now going to make a homemade lasagna with a cared for made-salad. True artist say what they dear not say. That is the frontier!

Dear Rory, somehow you seem to have understood my feelings of this write, yes to use profanity and absurd imagery just to get the point across to how lonely feels is somewhat difficult as I usually don't wander off my comfort zone, but it's exactly how you say sometimes pushing it to the surface of reality is all we can do. So thank you so much  Rory, I wouldn't want to believe no one was as lonely as I in my 20's, at least any one who didn't choose to be, take care dear poet. 🌹
