Compare and contrast

To reach out and touch someone and have that touch at best ignored, at worst rebuffed. To know you will not recieve touch.

To reach out to another and know that they will not reach out to you. To hear their words and know that they have no interest in hearing yours.

To know their place in your heart but doubt that there is any room in theirs for you. To care so deeply that you feel their pain but know they do not heed yours. To love and wonder if they even care to friendship stage, let alone anything more.

To want so deeply the pain is a physical thing and know that it is your lot to suffer alone if not in silence. For it does not belong to you and you have not the slightest claim on any aspect.

This is mine. And why I am here.

Son of Adam, you do not belong here.
