demiromantic.
Sometimes I close my eyes
when I lie awake at midnight.
And for a moment I can feel
feel the warm embrace of another next to me
feel the soft whispers of love and affection
feel the laughter, bright and clear
feel the loneliness fade
only to return a moment later.
I scream to the universe
Why? Why must I be so isolated
so afraid?
so hopeless?
the universe laughs and does not answer.
all I can do is wait at night
till I feel the arms of a ghost
and can pretend I am loved.

This is really beautifully written :)
Loneliness can feel like a physically feel-able void sometimes, as if you can literally feel the lack of a hug or a presence or warmth
this felt like a very well described version of that feeling to me
@shimotheeshalamet
That was such a moving piece on the need for connection and affection. A song for all those suffering from unrequited love, loneliness, or loss.
Well done.
