“Uncomfortable”


You make me feel uncomfortable.
I’ve been used to loneliness and doubt—
These have been my pillows
That have comforted me while I was out.

Pain is what I’m used to—
For so long this has been so.

I’ve learned to accept it.

But now you have come along
And made me so uncomfortable.
I no longer feel lonely.
I no longer have doubt.
I no longer feel that pain.
