Loneliness Lives In My Bones

Loneliness lives in my bones.

People say get out of the house,
Be social and talk to a friend but

Crowds make it worse
Small talk sounds like chalkboard nails and
Sometimes..
I feel like 
An alien invader outer-spacer
Hug evader
Human traitor
 ….Warmth betrayer.

Conversation is painful, 
So pointless and empty.
99% of the time it makes me..
Cringe and 
My legs hinge and

Voices buzz like bees around me and the air gets thick and sticky, I…

Fall to my knees, cover my ears try to cry out 

but

I am alone.
