I Am

Dedicated to --censored due to possible embarassment to the person it is dedicated to--

I am lonely.
Even though there are people here
Even though I smile and laugh
Even though I pretend I am not
I am lonely.
You are not here to talk to me.

I am cold.
Even though it is hot here
Even though I cover myself with blankets
Even though I turn up the heat
I am cold.
You are not here to hold me.

I am worried.
Even though you say you love me, you are not here
Even though you say you miss me, you are not here
Even though you say we’ll always be together, you are not here
I am worried.
You are not here to reassure me.

I am sad.
Even though you are here, you do not talk to me
Even though you are here, you do not hold me
Even though you are here, you do not reassure me
I am sad.
Even though you are here…. It seems like you aren’t.

I am sad.
