Poetry

alone.

I read the news about you
Are all the rumors out there are true
Sometimes I think I hate you
And I know it will never be how it used to be

I can dance all night without you
I’m never alone here without you

I love the things you never say
I know I won’t see you today
Delete all the pictures
Make all
Make all the memories go away

I can dance all night without you
I’m never alone here without you

When we go
Whispering be alone
How will I know its love?
“Well I never felt this way before”

I can dance all night without you
I’m never alone here without you
