Alone

Written October 29, 2010

there may be nothing more lonely
than to be the only one to believe.

not sure if it hurts because
you know I care, or if
I just care too much.

I’ll convince myself
that you don’t know
how to shield me, without
compromising yourself.

there’s nothing to do,
if we don’t want the same thing.

we can’t change
how we truly feel.

I accept that.

but it hurts
to be alone
when it’s
hopeless,
and I just
can’t stop.
