Poetry

leavemealone! i don’t want you with me.
your company’s worse than being alone.
forever alone i’d much rather be
than smothered by your perpetual drone.
your cob-web filled eyes are hollow and grey
your smile’s as welcome as you are to stay.
how hollow your mind, how hollow your heart
must be, believing i grieve when we part!
naive little boy, how sorry are you?
you wouldn’t be now if then you’d been true.
no pity have i for liars and cheats
excuses run high but by now talk is cheap.
you’ve settled your case and dug your own grave
so lay in it, please! but first—go away.
