Friend Or Foe Poem by Dislocated Heart

My friend..
solitude is what I need..
complete peace..
and aloneness.

Let me be coddled by my depression.
it cradles me well..
the warmth of my thoughts consuming.
I couldn't of done better myself.

dare not to look in my eyes,
I fear you'll see something haunting.
so let me wander,
and go off on a meaningless rant.

Lay your hand against me..
and you'll know how I feel..
just a touch.. I'll retreat as if the walls are caving.
so please.. I beg of you..

Walk away..
leave me in this weary state..
let my walls seal and toughen..
as I am torn apart.

You couldn't possibly want to see the terror,
I simply hide inside..
I'm tormented by my unspoken words.
and thoughts that won't let me hide.

My friend..
you see.. this isn't me..
so leave me be..
not a soul can help me now.

I lay, to let it consume.
feed on my very soul.
as I deteriorate into ashes..

Only I.. will ever know..

My friend.. its time..
you've been here long enough..
Demon.. come and take me away...

I've given up..
MY demon.. shallow me whole.
I've already let go.
