Walk alone

I can’t meet your eyes…

The stench of failure hangs between us.

Every step I take echoes my shame.

I walk alone.

Hands shaking, mouth dry, my throat full of lies,

Every glance from you is a verdict in disguise.

I stumble through rooms I once called mine,

Now every wall whispers, “You’re out of time.”

The stench of failure clings to my skin,

A perfume of mistakes I can’t wash within.

I try to scream, but the sound falls flat,

I look at you — I can’t. I can’t face that.

I’m a shadow moving where the light won’t go,

Dragging the chains of every “no.”

I can’t apologize enough, can’t hide my sin,

This spiral ends — I can’t let you in.

I walk alone, no eyes to meet,

My heart a coffin, my hands defeat.

The world keeps spinning, I fall behind,

Buried alive in the ruins of my mind.

The air tastes bitter, the floor turns cold,

Every step forward feels tired and old.

I hear laughter — it’s mine but it’s wrong,

A ghost of hope that didn’t belong.

I see the path, but it bends to despair,

Every bridge I build burns in the air.

I’m screaming inside, but no one can hear,

I’m my own enemy, my own puppeteer.

I’m a shadow moving where the light won’t go,

Dragging the chains of every “no.”

I can’t apologize enough, can’t hide my sin,

This spiral ends — I can’t let you in.

I walk alone, no eyes to meet,

My heart a coffin, my hands defeat.

The world keeps spinning, I fall behind,

Buried alive in the ruins of my mind.

I can’t take this weight, can’t take the shame,

Every mirror screams my name.

A noose in the corner, a gun to my head,

Shadows dance like vultures above the dead.

The floors are crawling, the walls have teeth,

The ceilings drip blood from promises beneath.

Every corner hides a predator of doubt,

Every breath is a trap, there’s no way out.

I turn my back — I walk alone instead,

Dragging ghosts behind me, filling my head.

No apologies, no last chance,

I’m gone from your eyes, gone from this dance.

The stench of failure follows where I roam…

The streets are haunted, every step a tomb.

I walk alone.

I walk alone.

I walk alone.
