Dear Solitude
Dear Solitude,
There’s certain warmth when you grasp me,
When your long arms pull me away from gravity,
When my feet can’t feel the ground
That’s when I yearn for these cold fingers to touch
Because my whole world erodes and crashes to the ground.
You’ve been there for me when no one was.
I know your friendship, those ardent bonds,
But my dear Solitude,
You’ve drowned me too far from reality
And thrown me into a circle of pain.
I tremble at the touch of your fingers, the sorrow they carry ,
The way they lose gravity and slam me into suffering.
Why Solitude?
Why’d you break me into millions of pieces?
And toss me into the storm?
Now my heart is here, there and everywhere
My mind and feelings are no longer warm.
Outside this composed body you’ve managed to keep
I’m scattered, confused and dying slowly.
You’ve manages to break me, are you happy?
Don’t be, I won’t be broken for long.
I’ll escape this circle; I’ll walk through this storm.
I’ll find back that fire that drove me to love
And this heart will mend with help from above.
So Solitude,
Don’t look at me in the mirror
And wonder why you can’t touch me again.
I’m seeing clearer and you’re no longer my friend.
Dear Solitude, this time,
I’m breaking these ties
You’ll hold me no more
Forever,
Goodbye.
