All alone

I look around the room
And wonder what I see.
Sitting in a large crowd of people
With no one talking to me.
They all seem so happy,
Not one person is sad.
But I feel different…
I feel I must've done something bad.

My best friends have abandoned me,
They've replaced me with each other.
Everyone has someone else,
Everyone has one another.
The guy I love isn't here,
He's been gone far and long.
With the cheerful people around me,
This is a place I don't belong.

I am all by myself,
With feelings that can't be shared.
I have no one to love
And no one to care.
Why am I not smiling?
People think they know.
Do my eyes have expressions?
Does my behavior show?

There were days I'd wear a fake smile,
And surprisingly, they'd think it was real.
But I felt lonely and empty inside,
Yet, it was something I didn't reveal.
I know some people do care about me,
And I'm proud to call them friends.
But the love and happiness I once felt
May be something I'll never feel again
