I get this feeling
that I don’t feel the same way
I can’t smile or cry
or laugh or hurt
in quite the same way
and you say it
try to explain it
and I understand the words
can comprehend the thoughts
but I just don’t entirely
feel the same way
and it’s so lonely
I’m isolated
because I can’t possibly
feel the same way
and this feeling
of not quite feeling
I can’t describe it
it’s not so empty
but kind of empty
I feel defeated
at a loss for words
to make anyone at all
feel the same way
