Lonely and Alone

Lonely and Alone, having only electrons to warm my face.
Fake contentment, contradicting my longing for any other place.

Outwardly lying to others, with false smiles zealously worn upon my lips,
Inwardly crying hysterically, praying my eyes don’t betray my mind trips.

Panic driven droughts of calm, I can’t remember how long it has been,
Since the gentle rains of contentment have soothed my self-induced sin!

What happened to my inner peace, so many steps we shared as friends.
All contentment has abandoned me. That day, you and I came to an end.
