Lonesome

I pull the flowers from my hair

And rehang my favorite dress

Return my shoes back to my closet

Dim the lights, ready for bed


I hear the music through the window

Hear them laughing down the hall

Did they notice I was missing?

Would they question it at all?


Try pretending nothing hurts me

Getting wrapped up in my phone

But tuning out the world around me

Is a horrid way to cope


No I never got an invite

Yes, it’s time to face the facts

Just these four walls keeping company

Might be getting to my head


An extrovert living an introvert’s life

Can only last so long

One of these days I’ll open the door

But til then I’ll keep building my walls
