Why Am I So Lonely?

WHY AM I SO LONELY?

Why am I so lonely?
It is as if the world does not exist anymore-
It is empty
No one is here-

So many people I know are gone
Many of my friends are gone
I am alone here
And it is so empty-

And how will it be
When I am even older
And even less friends here
In the years to come?
