thought about being lonely –

today.

thought about all the times

i’ve ran away,

leaving you cold for awhile –

then returning,

wearing the things you love;

my heart on my sleeve,

          and a smile!

realized – today,

that you are truly – gone!

and trying to wash away your

          memory,

i filled my soul with

          insecurity,

bled my eyes – tear-stained –

          dry!

thought about living – today,

and died!
