not so sticky

I've been many shades of occupied:
I've had a man and made him cry
I've loved a boy and helped him grow
I've kissed a woman that I used to know.

I've been many times two together:
I've helped a small heart through bad weather
I've held inside an unwanted glow
I've trembled the heart of a once-thought foe.

But now, I stand here on my own:
I don't know how to be alone.
My walls echo from my empty soul
I can't fill with all the emotions I stole.

And so, ashamed, I stay inside
Trying to forget, trying to hide
Hoping aloneness bears epiphany;
But I forgot I was stuck here with me.
