Alone and defeated I stand,
Even though you’re by my side,
But I feel nothing,
Broken and abandoned I’ve been,
And even though I’ve healed,
That will never change,
Confused and mystified is common,
Who am I but another person?
Something I don’t desire,

Strong and callused,
I’ve learned to become,
Guarded and secretive,
Is my stone cold heart,
It has no room for your love,

My mind is an abyss of jumbled thoughts,
Confusion and intelligence intertwined,
It will not be silenced,

If you want me to stay,
Then give me time,
Rushing what could be glorious,
Could turn to be fatal…
