I Like My Space
I like my space and have not much
You try to take it all from me.
Though there are times I seek your touch
most times alone I'd rather be.
Once it was hard to be apart
when loneliness could cause much pain
Emptiness then tore at my heart.
I will not go through that again.
I like my space so give me room
and bring this story to a close.
My love may only bring you gloom
not draw you near as you suppose.
I do not fear my solitude
nor need much contact any more.
I welcome now the interlude
when you depart and close the door.
I like my space and quietude.
It gives me room and chance to grow
and feel perfect beatitude
the type I rarely seem to know.
And now I strive to be alone
no need for people anymore
A hardened heart since then has grown.
My past has numbed me to the core.
I like my space so stay away
or feel my darkness if you dare.
I do not want you anyway.
There is not any love to share.
So let me go and do not wait
thinking that there may be a chance.
Deep down I know it is too late
I can no longer feel romance.
