It's dangerous to go alone

I'm checking my phone again

expecting a call

from someone who doesn't quite exist

expecting a text

with directions to find myself

expecting a life

I spend most days watching people

be people

and the important part of that

is it's plural

is the lack of definition for person

without relation

I know that I'm special

you're special

and without me you're nothing

and everything

and the undivided average

of a single term

What I'm trying to tell you

is important

what I'm trying to tell myself

is bullshit
because I'm telling myself
about loneliness
