A Search for Treasure

I feel like I did...
Before.
How do I explain?

Like the times when I was alone. 
Every time I pass a mirror,
I think of all those times.

How I am here again?
In this feeling..
Have I always been so alone?
Have I always put up this many walls?
What did I do last time to bring them down?

I went for it.
I saw someone cute or funny,
and I just went for it. 

But this time, 
every face I look at is tainted..
Stained with my melancholy and anger.

How do you get the stains out?
I don't even know what kind of stain it is,
what kind of stain affects everything?

How do you forget your life?

More than anything,
I crave a new beginning. 
But my vision is not allowing me
to imagine a future.

I just want a friend.
A new helpful friend,
who can teach me to move on.

Who enjoys doing homework with me
on a Saturday night,
and shows me the fun in a world
that does not involve intoxication.

Just the company of someone
who brings light and joy,
that I won't crush or break.
