Do you ever stand in a room full of people and feel alone?
Everyone’s talking and having a good time,
laughing, enjoying themselves.
I’m never truly alone
there is always someone near by.
Mostly because they don’t trust me anymore.
I’m never alone,
but I always feel alone.
Alone at night when the walls of my bedroom are my closet friends
Alone when I smile at you,
to let you know that I’m okay
and that you don’t need to worry.
Because when I see you,
I look to your eyes.
I see galaxies in those blue oceans
And at the sight of those stars staring back at me,
I feel hopeful.
There is always hope in your eyes,
no matter how down you are.
You are a poem with feet,
and I can write hundreds and thousands of poems about those eyes.
And how when you touch me,
I can feel flowers growing inside my lungs
and I how I can feel butterflies flying around in my stomach.
And when you’re not around,
I feel dead inside.
As the days pass by that you aren’t around
it gets harder to put on the costume and go on with the show.
But I will do it for you.
So when I see you,
when ever that is,
I know that you will ask if I’m okay.
I will say that I’m fine.
That I’m okay
Because I know that I will never be truly alone,
when a piece of me is always with you.
