that thing we call alone

The world has moved on
and you don’t have time for me anymore
no one has any time for me anymore

The more I need it, the more I need you
the more I need not to feel so desperately alone
the more the walls cave in around me
until only a flicker of sunshine radiates
from a peek-a-boo corner
and I wait for this midnight summer to end

The days are getting colder
and I can feel the chill seep into my marrow
into my subconscious where I dream of dying
a violent death
at the hands of men I don’t know

The world is moving on
and I’m not moving with it
so instead I wait for sleep
to dream of conversations
we’ll never have
and men that want me dead

It’s too easy to be alone
