the loneliness is brutal
but it protects
shut me out
ignore the mess
it draws you in
in locks me away
besides you feel better
by seeing my pain
i don't wan't to be
living a life
with a
needy parasite
who wants to tell me
who i am
you will never ever
understand
by all means i don't
want to be alone
but i can
manage on my own
your attachment issues
are not mine to investigate
and my inability to commit
is not yours to abate
