This isn’t just about devotion. It’s also about exhaustion, loneliness, and that fragile thread of hope we cling to that love, even when tested, can still be enough.

This piece comes from a place of deep loneliness and the ache of feeling unloved even by those closest to me. Sometimes, when the silence gets too loud, I turn to fleeting escapes, hoping to forget the emptiness, if only for a moment. This poem is my way of giving voice to those quiet wounds, the hunger for connection, and the fragile hope that maybe, someday, someone will stay.
