My Thoughts

I am afraid to be alone with you sometimes,
Especially when the rain falls,
And evening pulls its dark hood over the sun’s eyes.

I refuse to be alone with you sometimes,
When I lay awake,
And breathe into that empty void.

I am terrified to be alone with you sometimes,
When there is no one else around,
And the silent ticking of wasted time falls faster and faster.

I breathe deep,
In and out,
Exhale and yet want to scream and shout.

Strong,
Strong,
Stand strong.

I need to be alone with you always,
It is the only way I can grow,
And understand what to remove and what needs to remain.

I have to be alone with you always,
To tell me everything will be okay,
And that the road ahead is sweeter than the road behind.

I want to be alone with you always,
Memorable times of days before,
And better days yet to come.
