Yet I Stay

My loneliness starts when I see you,

It stops when I'm alone,

Yet I stay.

Feeling an emptiness, consuming my heart, wanting much more but where do we start.

Both of us turmoiled by life's unfair claims, the ones we were given, assigned to our names.

Desperately seeking to find you inside, everyday being different, unsure of your promises, possibly lies. 

When were together, unable to talk, inside I am lonely, feeling forgot.

Once I go home to lay in my bed, my brain starts to put together the words that you said. Alone I go back and then I return, wanting to believe the words that you say, forget I was burned.

Are we together to fill the emptiness inside, afraid to be alone.  Or are we apart, avoiding the loneliness we feel when we are together.
