Abandonment is such a concept.
For she holds me in her clutches from dusk to dawn,
She creeps behind me even when I feel secure.
She leaves me unfit to go on.
Why must she grab me so?
Smiling faces surround my view
As I crack and crumble and break.
People look at me as if they never had a clue.
When I'm gone, they won't notice.
The only difference that they'll feel
Is the lack of screams
That once made my head reel.
