You Should be Alone
Be alone
Yes
You should be alone
Shut the door
Shut it
Lock it up
Shut up
Close those windows
Nail the curtains
To your filthy wall
Be alone
Yes
You should be alone
Lonely? No
It’s not quite the same as
Being alone
Your mind doesn’t
Just stop
It keeps you company
Keep them far
Away
They won’t touch
Your burning stove
Or fuck with
Your bedding
They may yell
They might bang
To shake the room
But they cannot
Touch you
If you’re
Alone
And you must
Be alone
Choose to
Be alone
Let your psyche
Engrave
Like chisels
On a granite
Tombstone
It is time you
Stay alone
Did you forget
To be alone?
Someone’s waiting
You really
Fucked it up
Let one knob turn
How dare you!
Now
You must suffer
To be alone
So
Shut up
Lock it up
Shut it
Shut the door
You should be alone
Yes
Be alone.
Yes
You should be alone
Shut the door
Shut it
Lock it up
Shut up
Close those windows
Nail the curtains
To your filthy wall
Be alone
Yes
You should be alone
Lonely? No
It’s not quite the same as
Being alone
Your mind doesn’t
Just stop
It keeps you company
Keep them far
Away
They won’t touch
Your burning stove
Or fuck with
Your bedding
They may yell
They might bang
To shake the room
But they cannot
Touch you
If you’re
Alone
And you must
Be alone
Choose to
Be alone
Let your psyche
Engrave
Like chisels
On a granite
Tombstone
It is time you
Stay alone
Did you forget
To be alone?
Someone’s waiting
You really
Fucked it up
Let one knob turn
How dare you!
Now
You must suffer
To be alone
So
Shut up
Lock it up
Shut it
Shut the door
You should be alone
Yes
Be alone.

Dear TTF,
Haunting and gripping piece for me. As one who does appreciate being alone it’s a fine line before becoming reclusive and encasing myself from one and all. Excellent perspective and your formatting is very cool. H🌷

Encouraging to hear from you, always appreciate the feedback.. being alone is a dangerous game, rewarding at times, and damaging at other times.. roulette. Thanks for stopping by
