Alone

It's quiet
It's dark
It's late
It's lonely

Why is it so lonely?
I can go all day by myself
But the second I need to sleep suddenly being alone makes me want to cry.
But I also don't want anyone here by my side.

I feel my heart against my chest,
My brain against my skull.
Hands are frozen over
And my thoughts are running through jello.

But someone being here means I have to try and be better.
I don't want to be better.
And lose this,
This feeling night after night, all alone.
Because alone, it's the only thing I've ever known.
