It's been awhile
since you had
anything to say

I try to
reach out

but I fear
you want me
to go away

So I guess
I'll give you space
and try not to
let my mind race

But I miss
your company
and the smile
upon your face
Several days feels like awhile when you go from talking all day to barely saying anything at all.

I stay up waiting
for the sun to rise,
only to be
hypnotized
watching the
moon stride
across the speckled
night sky.
It took me a long time to let you go.
It took me even longer to forgive.
Now I wish I could just forget.

If
only

I could once
again
become my own
friend

Then
maybe

I wouldn't
feel
lonely
I'm lonely in a crowd, and I'm lonely when I'm alone.
I used to not be this way.
I used to be content and happy alone.  
But then, I reached out to a crowd
and abandoned the friend I made with myself.
Now, I'm the culprit.
