describe an emotion without using the word: loneliness

He’s the friend that sits beside you with a chilling smile, arm slipping around your shoulders as he whispers reminders about how there’s no one else around you. The one who turns you away from anyone who tries to peer over to check if you’re okay. He’s the friend with the cold touch who always reminds you that he’s here for you, through thick and thin, always and forever. He’s the friend who pokes at all your open wounds and makes your empty chest feel even more hollow. He’s the friend who hovers behind you when you think he’s gone and you’re okay and there’s others by your side. He’s the friend who covers your eyes when darkness comes and tries to welcome you to dreamless sleep. He’s the friend who never leaves, but never lets anyone else come close.
