Alone (pt 1)

a thousand wishes

I walk alone because I never know when someone might trip me

I cry alone because I've outgrown the masks I wear, they just don't fit me

I love alone because the second I turn my back my heart breaks

and that's when it hits me

 

Being alone and pushing people away

is the best thing for me

I tell myself "Never let anyone in and you will never get hurt"

But it seems that it was just another lie I've fabricated

Even if I don't let anyone in, I still get burned

Even if they can't hurt me, I can still hurt myself

 

and it seems that I was so busy keeping others out

I didn't realize I had let my own negativity seep in

and so now I'm infected with a disease

I've digested an obsession

with letting people go but never learned my lesson

 

and once again, it seems I'm doomed

to love alone, cry alone and walk alone
