Quiet Solitude

You leave me no options
 
And I am left staring out at the darkened sky
 
Wondering if I will see what I have missed.
 
What is it that makes me turn to you
 
That makes me forget everything in sight?
 
 
 
Why do I always take the path of least resistance?
 
I avoid confrontation;
 
I keep myself buried in my own thoughts
 
And I never let myself open up to you.
 
 
 
I fell in love with you a long time ago
 
And I am wondering how to get out of this trap
 
That I’ve created for myself.
 
 
 
It’s not as though I need the extra stress,
 
The extra misery that comes along with
 
Everything that I’ve dreamed about.
 
 
 
I’ve dreamed of you and I want to be with you,
 
But that is not reality;
 
Reality is this darkening sky,
 
The painful reality that I have nothing but the quiet solitude.
