Alone Yet Persued


There's no one here to talk to, yet you're around all the tme. When comfort comes to call, constantly drowning it, is your chime. All I want is to be heard, but you feed on my silenced please. Though you persue me in protection, you seek to bring me to my knees. I want someone to hold me, who certainly is not you. Why must all others ignore me? So alone, yet persued. My secrets are unveiled, only to whom I trust with my life, but you cut your way in slowly, like a dulled down little knife. Deep inside, I do love you, it's unfortunate, but true. You pick me up, then throw me down. So alone, yet persued.
