Alone

What I mean by alone is

Being surrounded by people

But only wanting to see you


Searching through the crowd

Looking for your eyes

But heart sinking when they are gone


Listening to our friends say your name

Pretending that it doesn’t crush me

But your name is so painful I cry


Laying in bed at night

Wishing your arms were around me

But waking up from a dream without you


What I mean by alone is

Being surrounded by people

But only wanting to see you

This piece was written in a really tough time in my life. I find it easier to cope with feelings when I write about them.
