Lonely

A dreadful pang in my chest and stomach, more painful than cramps;
I can't function, don't want to function;
Too painful, the feeling consumes me,
Slowly tearing me apart.
Loneliness is a merciless beast.

Yeah, it's stupid of me to feel lonely when I have a bunch of great friends;
But calling the feeling stupid doesn't make it go away.
I guess I'm just really selfish;
I have so many nice things, yet I cannot be satisfied.
What is wrong with me?

It may seem ridiculous to you, I don't know,
But this lonely feeling is so agonizing and it won't leave me alone.
I feel so alone, even when I'm with friends.
It probably seems ridiculous to you how the only person who can cure my loneliness
Doesn't even give a heck about me.
