I Alone

I wanted to be sincere 

I wanted to explain

But all the silver linings 

Don't cover all the pain

I can't catch my breath now

I can't control my head

All my thoughts circle

All my reason fled

Catch it if you can

Catch me if you dare

Wrap your arms around me

Watch my seams tear

Cinch them all together

Calloused hands do it well

Accosted by the world

All the pieces swell

I'll fall to pieces

I'll scatter in the wind

Everything is ash now

Each moment has thinned 

I wanted to explain

I wanted to be sincere 

But all that remains

Is I alone, standing here
