This terrifies me so I have to do it

Alone

So

Alone

In this Rock

On my shoulders

There’s a world in here

And it’s full of voices

Just like this cafe

It’s full of people

Talking and laughing

And I’m sitting here

Couldn’t be More alone

The silence.

It’s what I know

It’s what I need

It’s what I crave

It what feels safe

What feels like home

Intimacy

Is so far off

That I don’t remember what it looks like

Except in my dreams

And even those

Have changed

Their texture is different

The grip of reality is loosening

The colors blend and create a new shade of black

Stronger than ever

More hopeful that ever

And more alone

Than ever
