Why?

Why is this feeling happening to me?
Why am i feeling sad,
When I should be feeling glad?

Why do I feel abandoned by the people I know?
My friends,
My family,
The ones I love?

I know they care,
Or at least they say they do.
So why do I feel this way?
Devoured in sadness, like the ocean's blue?

Why is this emotion killing me?
Why can't I find my way out?
Out of the darkness, and into the light?
I need light in my life.

So why do I feel this way,
The way that I do?
I miss that one special person,
The one that I would say to "I love you".
