Dying Alone
I recently stated I don’t want to find love,
Some offer tips others sympathy.
But I have good reason for my choice,
And what I need is understanding and empathy.
I don’t want to bring someone into a life of despair,
Knowing I cant hold on forever.
I cant bare to cause anymore pain,
For if I cant love myself how can I love another.
I have always wanted to become a mother,
Now I know I never can be one day.
For how fair is it to bring them into a life,
A life of watching their mother decay.
I could not put that on someone else,
There are already too many people I have hurt.
I could not bring them into this cruel world,
For its in the shadows where the evil lurks.
So I have made up my mind,
I will die alone.
Nobody around,
To hear me gasp and moan.
