When it’s good
It’s good
When it’s bad
It’s draining
And can’t be
Good for
Your mental health
You feel lonely
You think another
Will fill the emptiness
In your desolate life
But when You get
Another
You have To adapt
You have to
Compromise
You may not
Get along
After the
Newness
Of each
Other
Wears off
And You
End up
Sacrificing
Your privacy
Your life
And always
Keyed up
You begin
Missing
Those peaceful
Happier days
When you
Were alone
Bob Boyd
