I never missed this feeling of being alone
Maybe because it never truly left.

I assumed someone would be there
One person giving words to mindless actions.

No one even tries to pretend anymore
They all found someone new to hold.

Does that mean that I am no longer enough,
That my body can be thrown away.

This crucial time when my body is my own.
Exploring is all I want to do, to feel, to notice.

Yet no one even gives me a passing glance
The ones who stop to look, add their own disclaimer.

I am glad I got to be the one,
Who helped them all to find their way in the dark.

The one to show them how the world looks
Open their eyes to her beauty and grace.

They told me their problems and I solved the puzzle
"Go to her" "Get over it" "Don't mind me"

I just wish for once, someone would be that friend for me.
But they are blind.

For now I will welcome the lonely
And hope that this feeling will always be here for me.

Because that is all I have left.
