Alone

I feel alone.
I could reach out to so many people.
But the ones that matter aren't there.
Delivered.
Read.
Opened.
Seen.
Why can't they just respond?
I have so many people I could contact.
But I would be annoying them.
They'd ask how I was and then if we could talk later.
But we never will.
We never do.
I could pick up the phone and dial a number.
But they wouldn't answer.
They can't reach me in a way that matters.
Not anymore.
I miss them.
I miss you.
Please just come back.
Everyone sounds so distant.
Am I really alone?
