I'm alone.
I see you. But you don't seem to see me.
It's as if I weren't even there.
You pass by me as though I were gone.
I lock myself in my room at night. Staring up at the sky, wondering.
Maybe I was meant to be alone.
It's a moonless night.
Even the moon has abandoned me. The stars are gone, lost behind the gentle cover of clouds.
How I wish I were a star.
Shining up there, above all the world. Not a care in my shimmering body. I would burn so bright, I would illuminate the night. Maybe...I could be that one who would be there for someone like me.
I curl up, crying. There are so many things in thinking, so many feelings I wish to share.
But nobody to share it with.
So I say goodnight.
Even though there's nobody to hear me.
