Isolation

I had a dream one morning
that left me dumbstruck
Oh it took me to face my greatest fear

no, it was not fire, water or height
it was something in my mind
been there for more than a year

it had cost me my endeavour to
be close to the people in my life
I realise,

what scares me the most is the fact
that there could be a day
just that one day

when someone decides to stand up and leave
there would be no effort in the world
to make them stay

yes, forever is a lie
and someone who promises me one
can one day be the devil in my way

oh they’ll become the sand in my hour glass
at my constant watch
which no matter what will slip away

so why let anyone enter
my beautifully damned life
why expect anyone to be there

why can’t I think
that these people will just be
random souls temporarily here

why shouldn’t I live in isolation?
