Am I Alone

The story

Some nights I walk through my own life as if I've already left it. The streets are full and not one face turns to me; even the dog curls up somewhere else. Not dead, not forgotten, just folded into the crease of a world that used to know me. I wrote it down because saying it is the first thread back. If you feel unseen in the crowd, you are not the only one standing there.

Lyrics

The streets are full but I can't see
A single soul that’s looking at me
I pass through rooms, I pass through light
But I’m the shadow in plain sight

I knock but doors don’t open back
My voice dissolves in all this black
I call your name, it echoes gone
I write these songs, but no one hums along

Am I alone? Or just unseen?
A ghost beneath a silver screen
The world moves on, it turns, it spins
But I remain outside its skin
Am I alone — or did I fade?
A song unheard, a vow unmade

Even Clay won’t share my bed
He curls by her instead
And though they breathe the same night air
I vanish when I’m standing there

The hallway mirror shows a blur
Of who I was, of who we were
I built a world from ash and flame
But no one ever learned my name

And if I screamed, would someone hear?
Or would my voice just disappear?

Am I alone? Or just unseen?
A ghost beneath a silver screen
The world moves on, it turns, it spins
But I remain outside its skin
Am I alone — or did I fade?
A song unheard, a vow unmade

"I walk through my life like I’ve already left it.
Not dead. Not forgotten. Just…
folded into the crease of a world
that used to know me.
They say love keeps you tethered.
But what if all your strings are cut?
What if your shadow no longer follows?
What if even the silence doesn’t answer back?
That’s where I am.
That’s what I can’t explain.
Not loneliness —
But vanishing."

Aaaaasahhhrgggggggggg Whyyyyyyyy
Where am I
Who am I
They say the Timekeeeeppperrrr
But I say...
Time is up.....

Am I alone? Or just unseen?
A ghost beneath a silver screen
The world moves on, it turns, it spins
But I remain outside its skin
Am I alone — or did I fade?
A song unheard…
A vow unmade

Am I alone…
Alone…
Alone…
