Abandoned

"I left... Crossing the street I was hit head-on by a brutal loneliness.  I felt dark and hollow. Abandoned, unnoticed, forgotten, I stood on the sidewalk, a nothing, a gatherer of dust.  People hurried past me and everyone who walked by was happier than I.  I felt the old envy.  I would've given anything to be one of them."
