I am losing myself

You are in the same house, but I am alone.

You are in the same room, but I am alone.

You are inches away, but I am alone.

I don't feel what you feel.

I don't hear what you hear.

I don't know what you know.

How do I find you?

How do I get you back?

How do you not see me?

I am sad. This is not OK.

I am lonely. This is not OK.

I am tired. This is not OK.

Why won't you find me?

Why don't you care?

Why won't you bring me back?

I don't like this.

I don't know how you can like this.

I shouldn't have to like this.

Does this get better?

Do things change?

When does it get better?

I am losing myself.

I am losing my vibrancy.

My color has faded.

I'm gone.
