Understand

"We understand," they all claim.

"But do you?
Do you understand?
Tears rolling down your cheeks
At 3am?
Do you understand
Permanent sadness?
Do you understand
The hollow feeling
You get when you know
You'll always be alone?
Do you really think
That you understand?"
I screamed at them.

All they could manage
Was a small gulp
They tore they're eyes away
And told themselves
That they understand.
