For far too long
The only solace I’ve received
Was drinking alone
To some well-composed reprise
I felt safe with the ghosts
Who I knew would never harm me
The warmth others embrace
In the closed arms of a lover
Feels like a prison
Cold, like the hole left by my mother
Please leave me alone
And find love in a more beautiful other
Not all birds
Are meant to fly or soar
Some cannot sing
Except for those demanding more
Flowers die with change
So let me bloom behind closed doors
