I need my alone. Just for existing purposes.<\/p>\n
I need my alone. In company my makeup begins to fall off.<\/p>\n
A drip here. A rip there.<\/p>\n
If i stay a little longer i will be grotesque.<\/p>\n
My real sneaking out in patches from my fake. So i need my alone.<\/p>\n
To mend my facade every now and then.<\/p>\n
Let me powder my nose. Red my lips. Let me slick back the wandering tendrils.<\/p>\n
Company is inevitable ,so is my lonely. I will keep drifting in and out of the two.<\/p>\n
Its essential. Essential for the existence.<\/p>\n
Too much alone and i will scare myself,staring at the real me.<\/p>\n
The real me is not always bearable.<\/p>\n
Though she is beautiful. Unbearably beautiful.<\/p>\n
Her beauty has a chlorophyll of her own. She sustains herself. On the sunlight of love.<\/p>\n
Alas her beauty is blinding and incomprehensible.<\/p>\n
So she has to fake it up to venture abroad.<\/p>\n
And the fake is a burden too. Too burdensome for her fragility.<\/p>\n
So every now and then. I need my alone.<\/p>\n
To lay aside this burden and replenish my fragility.<\/p>\n
She’s not gone<\/p>\n
Just tucking in behind that door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
