Lone Wolf

I learned the hard way

Not to trust too deeply

To love too fondly

To hug too closely

Open up just enough, but never that they see your cracks under the surface

Let them see the first layer of the onion but never the rest

Keep everything down so deep

No one, can ever

See your pain

Feel your anger

Or look through your lies

They say the eyes are windows to the soul

But are they?

When I look into my eyes all I see is darkness

A soul so tattered, so broken

Unable to shed a tear

Unable to see the light

Unable to open that closed door

I try to fly

Fly free like a bird

Drifting through the wind

With no worries or cares

But when you're that free,

Who can you be close to?

Leaving a place so frequently,

Migrating over seas, mountains and grassy fields

With no home to return to

Always on the run with no end in sight

I learned the hard way

Insecurities push me

farther

And

Farther away
