Solo

Kindly let me be alone.

To walk these pathways solo,

I was trusting you wouldn't take note,

However, I think you definitely know.

I realize I have issues

Furthermore, I'm attempting to fix them

Yet, what words can be sufficient

For a craving to try and say them.

For each time I open my mouth,

I wish that I had shut it.

Recollecting the time I wrecked things,

And, the vanishing moments.

I give substantially too much,

Then, I realize that I shouldn't

Cause I have nothing left to give

So basically I realize I'm used to it.

Discard the page,

So you can mess up the same way

Tear the edges so it frays.

I simply need my hands to blur...
