It is crowded. People bustle and laugh and speak. Each of them have lives and dreams and hopes and pains Each of them have friends and family and love and are loved and I am alone. I feel lonely. Please help me. Words die on the tip of my tongue, incinerated by the lack of a listening ear and Thoughts die before they form for lack of conversation and I am alone. I feel lonely. I feel as though I am spinning into a magnificant crash landing and Only vibrate to a stop when I am wrapped tightly in arms and Feel the emptiness crush to a compacted version of itself and I am alone. I feel lonely. I stop breathing occasionally and panic when I can't remember how to inhale and I wonder why I feel relief in those moments, just behind the terror and I scold myself because I was never brave nor cowardly enough to and I am alone. I feel lonely. There was a time when I would bleed emptiness onto my floor and Slice into my skin with a knife as dull as the world seems to be and Starve it out of my body with a determined for of will and I am alone. I feel lonely. I am empty, exhausted now, too tired to coax the void out of me and I can no longer remind myself that things will be better as they are not bad and I instead stare into space and wait until my closed eyes will not reopen and I am alone. I feel lonely.
