We all have paths to walk
Whether those paths
Are meant to be walked
~ or not
Is not relevant

This path I’m on
It was never meant
To be walked

Filled with monsters
Of the worst kind
Including me

But this path
Carved before I could walk
Is the path I’m on

I’m not always alone
But still
Always alone

I want you
To walk with me
But I know
You can’t

And so
I continue
To walk alone

Well
~ not quite alone
You will be in my mind
~ and certainly
~ in my heart
