Alone, but not lonely

I'm alone here,

And I can feel it -

In the silence that fills the table

In the void of few words 

Separated, closed off

Away from everyone else.

Around me,

Tables talk.

I hear Uno and chess

Checkers and card games

Little exclaimations

Little connections

Like fireworks around the room -

And I sit alone,

Alone,

But not lonely.

Not jealous of these people

Sitting here

With my work

Being peaceful

Is more appealing, to me

Than anything else they're doing.

  • Broken

    You can't fix what's broken,

    So should you start anew?

    The pieces are shattered,

    Hearts on the floor,

    The trust has been stomped on,

    You've walked out the door.

    You can't fix what's broken,

  • Four years

    Four years.

     

    The first year the devil

    Was my best friend

    My

    Entire

    Universe

    So close he could see inside my head

    See inside my heart

    Knew every little secret,

    Every part of me

  • Not jealous, not sorry

    Your goal is to make me jealous.

    To make everyone jealous.

    Even your friends.

    Friends? Or followers?

    You're all leaders and not very good at it anyway,

    And guess how that works out,
