Alone

All of the family there to support you, all of the friends there to help, all of the activities to keep you busy, all of the books to keep your mind from drifting, all of the television to prevent silence, everything you try isn't enough to keep from feeling lonely. It is is 1:10 am and I look across my king size bed to emptiness. It is a feeling that I can't explain, a loneliness that cannot be understood by those who have not experienced it. I just wish I could stop crying and start sleeping. I am so tired, my body is so sick, and so tired.
