Alone again
That’s how all my stories end
Who once was a confidant
Isn’t even a friend
There was no resolution
And no pages to turn
You struck the match
But I watched the bridge burn
Our time has run out
Merely seconds on the clock
So as we walk away
We let the final grain drop

I’m a detail oriented person
I schedule all my plans
And the more I think that I’m on track
The further I feel that I am
I drafted a five-year plan
And I’m over half way through
My list is almost complete
Now I don’t know what to do
Five years seemed like a lot
I guess I never thought further
I don’t know what to do
Once my list is all over
What if I don’t finish
What if I get lost on my path
I’m not prepared for these decisions
Or what happens if I get off track
I’ve followed the directions
But navigating is not my expertise
And my GPS signal is lost
Life gives nothing guaranteed
So I’m waiting for the wrench
Or maybe it was already thrown
Only two years time will tell
To resolve my unknown

I’ve been siloed
You’re triggering my depression
I don’t know how to handle
All your passive aggression
You corned me
You robbed all my possibilities
You left me with nothing
But your hostility
Your actions differ
Then what you said were your intentions
When I wanted you to notice me
I got your inattention
This feeling is ineluctable
I’m overwhelmed by your censure
This building is filling
With nothing but tensure
I’m gasping for air
I need to respire
But this feeling won’t resolve
If I don’t step out of the fire
