maybe I am alone
because I'm a doormat,
for no ones feet
but for the broken and needy.
maybe I am alone
because I will wait for time
and wait forever.
maybe I am alone
because my ears listen,
and my mouth comforts
with ill-flowing words.
maybe I am alone
because my arms didn't hold
tight enough
for anyone to stay.
I think I am alone
because I drown myself
in this way.
