the night is young
maybe i have something
to look forward to
maybe not
i don't want to sit again
without someone
to talk to
to hold
i don't want to sit again
without someone
to laugh with
or something
to keep me busy
but i can still feel it
slowly they are
abandoning me
forgetting i am here
i leave to my own
i am left to keep afloat
without anyone
to hold me up
without anything
to sustain me
alas, they have deserted me
but it is not they
who have deserted
it is i who have decided
i need no one
i need myself
and nothing more
i can float
i can sustain
they wouldn't even know
were i to die
for i'd not tell
i find myself happy as such
needing only for myself
they are nothing
but selfish fiends, anyhow
i can't live like them
but as me
in my own mind
alone
and no one here
to comfort me
in my solitude
no company for
this misery
but i don't need it
i'll just do without
after all,
i still have
myself
