There's No Safety in Solitude
When there's nobody else around.
When everyone talks too loud.
When there's no light left in the day,
And the darkness keeps me at bay.
I'll stay here.
When breath escapes these lips,
And there's an aching in my ribs.
When it's taken me all this time.
When there's a demon in my eyes.
I'm still here.
When at last I tried to speak,
You were taken in your sleep.
I was screaming at the walls
But I couldn't get to God.
I'm left here.
