The Meaning of Alone

"If love is just a word, then why does it hurt so much when you realize it isnt there?"

-Sabuku no Gaara

Alone.

.

.

.

what does it mean,

to be alone?

.

.

.

it means that there is no-one there,

and if, they all stay away,

you just may come to realize,

that they hate you.

.

.

.

it hurts, that realization,

that horrid, terrible thought,

one clear thought in a sea of muddled,

confused emotions.

.

.

.

when you ask yourself,

the one question that has been,

pressing agenst your skull.

the answer promptly presents itself,

to answer the questioning thought of, why?

why do they hate me?

.

.

.

the answer is painfully clear.

you try to push it away,(no, I don't want you!)

but it is the only thought in your mind.

.

.

.

you don't know.

you don't know at all.
