loneliness

my fingertips ache as I cry,
yearning to be interlocked with another's grasp.
tears streaming down my cheeks,
burning like acid on my skin.
am I unlovable?
why does everyone around me have someone?
what is wrong with me?

my brain hurts as my thoughts run wild.
darkness seeps into my mind,
like ink into water.
would anyone notice?
would they care?
would it be easier?

every part of me is numb now.
my heart beats fainter, fainter, fainter,
until I wonder if it even beats at all.
everything is quiet and black.
how long would it take to find me?
would they even look?

my acid teardrops create gaping wounds
of sorrow down my face.
they grow until no flesh remains,
my heartbeat gets fainter still.

the pool created from my eyes swells until it suffocates my body,
eating away at the rest of my skin.
a husk lays in the place where my body used to.

they didn't notice.
they didn't find me.
they didn't care.

I am gone
