BURN (Wattys2015?)

i am alone, completely and irreversibly

i am surrounded

by friends and family

people who "love me"

i am closer to my friends

than i ever was before

but i am farther from my friends

than i ever was before

i am alone

in myself

i am alone

i have always been alone

and i will always be alone

i have everything i could ever ask for

but there's still a hole inside

there's still an emptiness

that i cannot hide

i am alone

shriveled and crying

in a corner

in the dark

alone

because i haven't let the people i'm closest to

all the way in the door

i only keep myself open

just a crack

for you to peek inside

but i can't seem to let you inside

i am alone

i am alone

i am lonely
