Aloness
Eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner
Aloneness became my best friend
Being around all the time
It sourced my sense of being alive
Feeling alone
You became a guardian
And my best friend
The only one that stayed
Always
You became the closed door
To a world deep inside
A dried out landscape
A desert
With nothing but vast emptiness
Needing to be hidden
Unexposed
Unbearable to feel and show
Ashamed of barebone roughness
No love in sight
Now exposed
I thank you aloneness for keeping me safe
For so long
And ask you to step aside
So that love can find me
Eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner
Aloneness became my best friend
Being around all the time
It sourced my sense of being alive
Feeling alone
You became a guardian
And my best friend
The only one that stayed
Always
You became the closed door
To a world deep inside
A dried out landscape
A desert
With nothing but vast emptiness
Needing to be hidden
Unexposed
Unbearable to feel and show
Ashamed of barebone roughness
No love in sight
Now exposed
I thank you aloneness for keeping me safe
For so long
And ask you to step aside
So that love can find me
