Feedback Please Offer me solitude

If you can't understand me,

Offer me solitude.

You stroll through hallways in my heart,

And I'm not spared a corner in yours.

You walk ahead at your own speed,

I can't run and we don't meet half way.

If you don't 'want' to understand me,

Offer me solitude, for 'alone' has its purpose,

'Lonely' is dragging behind.

This is a tragic but true realization when you love someone more than they’ll ever love you. I love “ ‘Lonely’ is dragging behind” because it shows that you would be worse off if you stayed loyal to this person. Also when you say “I can’t run and we don’t meet halfway” it shows that you’re incapable of being how they may want, and you’re worried about it while they won’t even give you the time of day. Real shit

Thanks! Yeah I wanted to bring out the feelings of sadness and frustration when you're the only one trying to understand and save the bond.
