Alone

I wrote this at a fast-food establishment while on break l o l

They say loneliness is all in our head

that in a blissful reality it's all in our heads

So many people know how you feel, they say

Do they know how I feel?

Like an astronaut drifting in an ominous space

reaching for stars, but never catching them

her fingertips gently brushing against the 

bright, phantasmal orbs 

but never    in                                                         reach. 

I'm drifting alone 

my spacecraft being pulled toward a black hole 

no stars 

no galaxies 

 no 

          hope 

just a black hole, swallowing me deeper

every 

sing 

day
