Alone is being in a crowd of people, and yet not being able to share soul to soul with one of them.
Alone is when you hug a pillow and long to be hugged back with love and warmth.
Alone is when you are the only one who notices a beautiful tree, flower, bird, mountain or sunset.
Alone is suffering sadness, joy, or excitement and knowing that nobody else feels it the same way.
Alone is sharing something with someone and find they don’t care or understand.
Alone is having an ache which doesn’t give up - like having a funeral going on inside all the time.
Alone is going to sleep because the pain of staying awake is too much to bear.
Alone is finding someone who loves and cares and understands and yet having to part because God forbids it.
Alone is hearing ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’, and yet never seeing or feeling the evidence of this.
Alone is praying to emptiness. I am alone- I cannot flee from it or change it. I can only end it.
