Loneliness

The worst loneliness is not being alone.
When you're with someone who won't answer the phone.
Who tunes you out, lives in their own zone.
This is more lonely than being alone.

Gone is the laughter that we once shared.
Not a moment is wasted, no feelings spared.
Living in fear, living scared.
Scared to be empty, left shattered and bare.

Feels like you're sinking into an abyss.
Surrounded by blackness, life's just amiss.
No more warmth, no more bliss.
I'd rather be alone than to feel like this.

You speak to your partner, but they never hear.
This resonates strongly, the silence bursts your ears.
Cheeks red and wet, from your falling tears.
That pit in your stomach, anxiety fears.

Gotta make a run, gotta get away.
Cannot stand this feeling, for another day.
Making that leap, can no longer stay.
I'd rather have nothing, than feel this way.
