So alone that it’s no longer a feeling
It’s a presence
Following you everywhere
Eyes glazed over with apathy
Tape on a plastic smile
You’ve got everyone fooled
Your only friend is what’s inside
He’s overstayed his welcome
Echos those thoughts over and over
You’re disconnection goes unnoticed
You have no one that cares
It’s just you and the darkness
You’ve never much liked them anyway
Solitude isn’t so bad
The constant numb becomes soothing
All you want is everyone gone
To hear them all scream
As loud as you have been all this time
Then silence can take over
You’ll truly be alone
Let your dark out

This is a nice piece.
Have you written any more?
I particularly like the imagery of the dark being a presence, and your way of expressing the feelings in words.
I would like to see more, if you have it.
