Lonely Can'T Describe

How'd my life come down to this?
Another New year's eve with no one to kiss.
I'm all alone, not invited anywhere.
I wonder if they even notice I'm not there.

I asked everyone I knew, they said they had no plans.
When I asked if they wanted to hang, they said "no thank you ma'am.
Found out two days later they had partied all the night.
Guess they didn't miss me, cause I didn't get the invite.

They said they were my friends but in the end I'm all alone.
They said they were my friends but there true colors now have shown.

Lonely I would say I am but that would not convey,
The emptiness I feel inside every stupid day,
I sit in front of my tv with nothing else to do,
But dream of days now long ago I use to spend with you.

An I know I shouldn't dwell and I don't mean to complain,
But it's hard to be independent while I slowly go insane.
An I'm sorry that I need you, I don't mean to be a pain.
I was hoping maybe you could possibly explain,
Why all of my efforts seem to be in vain.
I try to fill the void, but the emptiness remains.

You have beautiful phrasing that paints a picture most recognize but don't dwell in the bitterness. A valuable lesson to share with others, and thank you for sharing.

This is really lovely. We all get to that point in life when making choices seems harder than we think it is. Nicely penned
