Alone alone is how I’ll always be
No one to care for me or tell me I matter
One should always see
How much they mean to someone else, and to not get any
sadder
But I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine
Unfailing like the erosion of the rock by the ocean wave
Forever and ever, over and over (No giving up, this is a
sign)
Even though rejection is frightening, I’ll be brave
Put myself out there again and again
Shout my love from the crag
Swim from one end of the River Seine
All over the world until I reach the other end (Listen to my
heart, I beg)
Rid myself of all impurities
Build up resistance to these infections and aches and pains
Train myself to dismiss offers of infidelities
As I sit upon my throne of skulls and lies, I watch the
world burn while I turn more insane
Hold me closer because I cry inside
I pick at my skin and my hair because all I see when I look
in the mirror is imperfections
I drink and make a fool of myself because no one here really
gets me and everyday my past self has died
All I can think of is all of the well-intentioned
misdirections
I miss last year even though every day I wanted to get out
This year so far, I’m a lot less neurotic and have far fewer
irrational fears
I can go out at night and in the city without thinking of
being shot, nor are my tear ducts waterspouts
And the drumming grows louder, no longer softened by the
once never-ending tears
