My solitude,
Is self induced.
It is not your burden,
But mine.
I will carry this on my own.
You’re love is strong,
Darling, so kind, so gentle,
Everything I always said I wanted.
Yet here you are,
Staring at me with eyes,
Blue like the sky and deep as the sea,
And I cannot accept it.
My heart aches to be free,
It’s been held down for so long.
Suppressed by myself and past lovers.
I need this time,
To be alone,
To be free,
To be in my solitude.
