This poem deviates from the boyfriend-girlfriend type, and focuses more on the sadness brought about by being alone. Anyway, I like the fact/emotion of being alone (but I’m not alone, okay? I’ve got friends!), you know, the kind of feeling when no one sees you and you can do anything without people commenting on what you’re doing (for short, alone and free; FREEDOM!!!), but this centers on the aspect of being alone and sad rather than happy.

COVERED
I seem so happy; yes, it’s true
It only seems ‘cause I’m with you
But try to take it all away
And see it barren, cold, and gray
The silence kills me; I’m helpless
Dying in the chains of sorrow
The noise tortures me; I’m worthless
Crying like there’s no tomorrow
I’m living in a perfect lie
With strangers and liars and friends
Outside we live, inside we die
It just continuously ends
I fake myself; I fake a smile
I fake it all to live a while
I died ago from way back when
But can we just do it again?
