Lonesome Nights

I sit alone staring at a black screen for hours at a time

I anxiously await for you to just reply

I pray for it to emit light and to hear my phone ping

I try to stay hopeful, but I never hear it ring

Hours go by, no messages at all

All I needed was love, would it have killed you to call?

I’m codependent and tired of being on my own

Even if I reach out, no one bothers to answer the phone

Pictures and videos keep crowding my feed

Of people with friends, something I desperately need

You may look at my life and think it’s not all that bad

And I’m sure that it’s not but I’m still so sad

I live in a ghost town, devoid of life

Yet no one will notice, they won’t even think twice

It’s almost as if I’m from another Earth

Maybe that love just isn’t something I’m worth

So I’ll sit here alone, all by myself

Waiting silently for someone to help
