Leave Me Be

over daisies and damsels i danced, 

on the clouds i cried

on the shores i shouted

in the fields, i felt

but no one noticed. 

alone. 

alone.

this loneliness is all consuming 

this need to distance myself is all pervading

leave me be, 

leave me to lick my wounds, 

leave the tears on my face to fester

leave the sunlight to singe my skin

leave the dirt to deteriorate my body

leave the oceans to ostracize my faults

leave the rain to reprimand my wrong-doings

leave the wind to whisk away my future

& i’d whisper goodnight, but there’s no one there.

no one to care.

i’m all alone now.

& that’s alright.
