Have you ever felt alone?

I'm not talking about that bored feeling you get after everyone's left; or that small pinprick of disappointment when your friends go out without you.

I mean really alone.

When you wonder, was anyone really there to begin with? And if so, why'd they all leave?

Am I really that horrible?

At night is when I feel alone the most. As I lay in bed I wonder, do people still think of me?

The true feeling of loneliness is down right ruthless.

It not only attacks your image of yourself, but your relationships with others.

It gives your mind a tight hug, no matter how hard you try and pry it off, and it pulls you down to its lair.

It whispers 'they don't care anymore' until you believe it.

I used to believe it.

If you still listen to the brutal whispers of loneliness, that only fuels it more.

And if you're still so sure that nobody else is there, I'll tell you now,

I care.
