It must get lonely

Her words echoed In my mind. They bounced off the unseen walls repeating those four simple words.

It must get lonely

All of the boundaries I set up so people didn't see the mess I really am crumbled down.

It must get lonely

Could she see through my guard? Did she understand how I feel?

It must get lonely

The truth settled itself within me. Tears swelled in my eyes as I filled with self hate.

It must get lonely

All I ever do is sit there and pretend that everything is just peachy when it's not.

It must get lonely

I scanned her face for any trace of emotion besides pity.

It must get lonely

I just turned around with my bags and ran inside without even saying goodbye.

It must get lonely

It does get lonely.
