Solace in Solitude

Why do you care? I scream it into the void,

Your presence, a reminder of what I avoid.

In the mirror, a stranger, a fractured design,

Am I your solace, or just biding your time?

Lost, alone, a soul adrift,

In my storm, can you persist?

I'm lost, alone, broken in the brain,

This is over, no more pain.

You're better off alone than living with my stain,

In solitude, we find our separate ways.

In the silence, in the strain,

Our connection wanes.

I'm lost, alone, a soul adrift,

In my storm can you persist?

I'm lost, alone, broken in the brain,

This is over, no more pain.

You're better off alone than living with my stain,

In solitude, we find our separate ways.

Do I help to remove your fear?

Or am I the darkness, drawing near?

With every word, with every tear,

I push you away, year after year.

Alone now, I face the night,

In solitude, I find my light.

I'm lost, alone, broken in the brain,

This is over, no more pain.

You're better off alone than living with my stain,

In solitude, I find my light, you're better off alone.
