surrounded by so many
yet I feel alone
so alone
my smile is empty
my eyes are lifeless
my heart is hollow
I am a husk
an empty shell
I feel as though
my very essence has been taken
spilled upon the ground
my tears scorch my face
following a well traveled path
eroding my crumbling heart
every breath is labored
painful
meaningless
an automatic occurrence
if it were to stop
I wouldn't know the difference
would you?
it's a question I don't expect an answer to
because...
although I am surrounded by so many
I feel alone
so alone
