Alone

 Alone

I walk alone

Through these places

I used to roam

Each moment is unique

Each memory my own

Seems like a century ago

Driving Century home

But not like normal

Cuz it’s dark out

And frost on the trees

Has started to form

Streets are empty

And something in me

Said I could be better 

Than hanging with {} and {}

But when you’re that young

All you know is that

It sucks to be alone

Cuz you used to sit out on the curbside

Waiting for someone to invite you inside

So when you have a ride

To wherever you want to go

It feels nice

To become known

But 5 years later

You don’t let them know

What’s inside your head

Because it’s different than before

No more empty bottles

No more worthless convos

No more catching up while

Crushing cans on Tahoe

No, I close the door

And I’m selective with who I phone

Because you’re 24

And you’ve barely even grown

But everybody questions

When you walk home

Alone, temps in the 20s

No coat to keep you warm

But you had to get away

From those people that you’ve known

Forever, and they never will get better

Til they realize, why I spend so much time alone

So I’ve been losing friends but finding peace

And honestly, that seems like a fair trade to me.
