Unbearable

If I could just be
accepting
and comfortable
with being alone,
my life would be
so much easier.
If I could just ignore
the couples
who hold hands
and kiss,
my life would be
so much easier.
If I could go home
each night
and read a book
or write a poem,
my life would be
so much easier.
But I come home
to a dark
and empty house
each night
and my life has become
unbearable.
