To heal, I must leave it,
But how does one abandon their truest companion?
It is always there for me.
Only I turn my back on it,
never the other way around.
It's there in the dark.
It's there when I am alone.
It, and it alone.
Others forsake me,
But never it.
It has invested more in me than anyone.
And now I think to heal, I must leave it.
Am I mistaken?
Have I gone mad?
I must be crazy, for I can no longer live with it,
But I refuse to live without it.
It
And
It
Alone.
