I’m sitting hear cheering on the raindrops as they race toward the sill, The glass panes seem so odd as I stare into the blackening night. And I wonder if I will be like this forever, Mute to none because no ones there, Constantly repeating the things I’ve said, And letting the tears continue on my darkening irises. I stretch my fingers and my brittle bones ache like years never been, Maybe I’m sitting too close to the speaker and your microphone is on, Because I can only hear your voice, And in your voice I hear the rhythm, Till I realize you’re not talking but instead my head is on your chest, Your heartbeat speaking to me, Because I am familiar with hearts since so many have broken inside of me. But I open my eyes and the gray skies dissolve, The black night growing thicker as my breaths grow quicker, And I’m alone. I say yes instead of maybe, no instead of yes, Till everything is negative And positive cascades gently down the dictionary of words that are forgotten. I’m in agony, Screws holding me to my shy personality And the crowd just keeps on walking. Can no one see me? Have I been talking to no one my whole life? I guess so, because everyone frowns when I mention the terror, confused. No one is so unpredictable, Reading from a script I never wrote all the scripts I wrote included friends. I am the only actor, underpaid. I realize I have been talking about no one as a person, As my only friend. As my soul mate. Am I predestined to be alone? Through all the minutes as they speed past the raindrops on the window and win the race. "Why are my visions so unliving with dreams? And why do I no longer care?" - Stygian |

Yeah, I do mean it. The feeling of being alone. But I can't explain it in any more ways than that. It's...like I can step out of myself for a while and look at myself and think "What a loser." Self-hate. I'm alright though, and thanks for replying. Hollow. "Why are my visions so unliving with dreams? And why do I no longer care?" - Stygian |

This is nice. Thank you for the welcome.  I think this part is my favorite: But I open my eyes and the gray skies dissolve, The black night growing thicker as my breaths grow quicker, And I’m alone. |
