Shy
I'm afraid to be alone
But somehow
It's always where I crave to be
Let my silence teach you

what my words

did not

​i look away
with tear-stained eyes,
shut off my phone
but still remains your lies.​
​and who am i
but a broken girl alone,
staring in the mirror
only skin and bone,
miles away from home
miles away from "home"
i never needed to be treated like royalty,
all i asked of you
was a little
loyalty.
is loyalty
truly
rarer than
royalty?

"The most beautiful ones."
