I want to be left alone.

Alone with my aching soul,

watching the night sky darken

as the glittering stars fade.

Alone with my broken heart,

seeing through my mind’s eye

how different it could have been

had better choices been made.

Alone with the last glimmer of hope,

wondering what comes next

and if I have the strength to try again

when dawn breaks.

Leave me alone,

I’m happier this way.

~Love.
