On Your Own
I see you had a hard time
On your own
It's shown
In your unstoppable eyes
Don't hide them now
Break this core of opposing anger
That scratches your cheeks
like plucking thorns out of rose pedals
and ruefully marking their landing
You are on your own
Since you refused my helping hand
Making me shrivel up like rocks grinding into sand
You're making me wonder
How is it that you can
Move on on your own?
