Alone

Alone:

being apart from others

like how you are hours away

in a place that i can see in the back of my mind

but i do not know

and i trust in what you say

because i want you to be true to me

in a way that you never will be

Alone:

being without anyone or anything else

like how i lay here in silence

in a place where i lie alone hour after hour

but i do not know

and you have never seen

and i want you to be here with me

in a way that you never will

Alone:

only

only if i had not spoken

only if i had spoken sooner

only if i had spoken later

only if i had said more

only if i had said less

only if there was more to say

only if there was nothing

Alone:

without others

in the way that i speak alond

and i am the voice of many

and i do not know

but i cannot speak for you

and i wish you would speak

in a way that you never will

Alone:

without help

my knees have grown weak

and i lean on something

that i do not know

and i seek out your hand

and i imagine you hold me

in a way that you never will

Alone:

solitary

solitary in my room

solitary in my beliefs

solitary in my thoughts

solitary in my joy

solitary in my pain

solitary in my days

solitary in my nights
