This is why I prefer silence

Over the warmth of company.

I always get burned in the end,

The pain is crippling.

This is why I push them back

Instead of opening the door.

I believe their smiles, yet never fails

I always wish to feel no more.

This is why I cry at night

But you’re too asleep to hear

The anguish the pours out,

I am consumed by fear.
