Alone

Leave your worries

At my door

I’ll hold them tight

I’ll find some more

I’ll find them hiding

Where there are none

I’ll finish ones

That have begun

I’ll see the worst

In every word

I’ll hear secrets

That can’t be heard

I’ll feel the knives

From behind

I’ll hold it all

In my mind

I’ll let it boil

In my brain

I’ll see the pattern

Once again

Allies lie

When out of sight

Friends colour

Black and white

And when it’s safe

As it can be

They’ll bring their guns

To murder me.
