i've grown to be a very lonely person loneliness is a paper bag loneliness isn't an emotion it's what you become you forget how to talk when your thoughts are the only voices your life becomes an existential mirage all you have are memories you grasp as they fade away so alone that memories are the only company keeping you sane memories distract you of the reality that you are now irrelevant reminders that you once were wanted in a room, there were people wanting to share their time with you. you were visible. you were cared for. my life is an old scrapbook everyone moves on with their lives i'm stuck in the past but no one cared to pull me out you don't know what loneliness is until your past is the only thing you think about and your bed becomes your crying shoulder atleast a bed can soak up my tears// atleast my bed supports my aching body people will just drown you and break all of your bones
