You Are Right

DARKNESS, i want to be left alone
inside my room.
You knock, i say, Leave me.
My heart is bleeding and there is no
sign that it will stop
that way.
I am embraced by grief.

You leave me and I Keep time
as company inside my room
DARKNESS.

Time kills me. I am alone as i want it to be.
I kill time,
utterly confused, i keep saying and writing,
i will never love again.

You are right. Your love is breaking my heart
and there is no cure.

I will bury it. Soon. Leave me alone.
