A Voice

Being alone isn't just a feeling, it's a sensation that makes your fingers and toes numb, leaves you breathless with fear. You look around and see things that you know you can never have, no matter how hard you fight and scratch and claw and- it just is incomprehendable to someone who never knew those things before. You run away, hoping to find that one thing to release all of your troubles, but everywhere is always the same. You scream for what you don't know, plead until your throat is sore, tears falling down your face as you find that there are just some things that just aren't meant to be. It is a deep sadness in your very core, an illness that seems like it will never leave no mater how many medications you take or how many people you share your deepest secrets with. You can't escape, and you will ultimately fall into the abyss. That is what being alone feels like.
