I Come From Lonely

by LittleBirdWitch

Have you ever been To where I was born? Have you ever found yourself Without a rose in sight, But you still had a mouthful of thorns? Did you ever sit in the silence As the wolves sang to the moon? Did it hurt when you realized No one is going to sing for you? Does it hurt when you remember everyone who came into your life Just to go? Did it make you sad, When you found that the only familiar voice Was your own echo? Love, who am I to you? No, please, just: who am I to you? Am I the sunshine you wouldn't wait to hold onto? Or am I the melody that's always been the only one to really know you? Have you ever found yourself Sitting where I was found? Did they ever hear the breaking for themselves, Everytime they let you down? When was the last time You decided not say that you're fine? When did you feel "I love you." Was real, and not just a pretty rhyme? One that we beg for, After every night After every fight. Welcome to Lonely. Population: Just you... and just me, too.
