Rachel Henley - Basking In Solitude

There are no thoughts I share,
My woes that are entirely my own.
I suffer from loneliness,
and it shakes me to the bone.
No matter how deep the love,
Or how strong the bond,
I feel there is no place for me,
No place where I belong.

This will destroy everything I love,
But before Everything I love destroys me,
I bask in solitude like a comforting shade,
Protecting me from the affection I crave.
Hurt? Woe? Are all thats left for me to show.
Past Lovers? People I have not yet let go.
Will this define me?
I will never know.
