Why do I feel so empty?
Why do I look around me, seeing thousands of people and yet feeling so black and empty?
Why do I feel soulless as if I'm floating in the void?
Hearing nothing, feeling nothing, sensing nothing, smelling nothing, just numb floating in the blackness
Surrounded by loved ones yet feeling so alone is hard to understand.
Each friend has someone else they are closer too yet I'm left in the dust until they "need" me.
I'm just an ear, just a person to vent to.
I feel alone and empty.
I've felt it for so long that I'm used to the feeling and am unable to get out of the emptiness, the black hole, the void.
It's safe, comfortable and protects me from heartbreak.
It's become a jail cell. A comfortable jail cell.
Yet here you come with the key. I watch as you unlock the door and suddenly I don't feel so alone.
You join me in the void telling jokes, making me laugh and suddenly we are no longer in the void but in a field of grass.
The wind rushes around us as we laugh and talk.
I'm no longer alone yet how long will it last?
