The lie of a stranger

Why does it hurt me so

Can’t these rumors

Just let me go



True, I stepped out on the ledge

I took that chance

Maybe I’m to blame

For being burned by loves’ dance



So in the dark

I crouch again

Wondering when I’ll be saved

By a friend



My friend never shows

So I’m left here alone

A choice that is mine

One that burdens my soul



Forevermore wanting

To be safe

I embrace isolation

Loneliness my grave



I’ll never greet love again,

At my door

Avoiding its pain forevermore
