why am I so desperate
for a friend
maybe a confidant
to be liked
and instead I face innumerable days of loneliness
alone in my thoughts
and feelings
No one truly cares
not in the least
cant see behind smiling eyes
cant see the hurt inside
the need to be loved
and liked
and wanted
I shrivel a little more at each rejection
hide more with each unmet need
cry more at each slight and snub
and yet
in fear of being so utterly alone
I will reach out again
until there is nothing left
