November Fifteenth

Begging like a child
Craving your affection
I say that I enjoy being alone
But as soon as someone leaves me
The anxiety sets in
No matter who has left
Crying for hours after mom and dad go out
It's scary
You think that they're leaving and never coming back
And you beg and beg and beg them not to go
But not even tears could get them to stay
Maybe I'm still a child
Because I don't want you to leave me
I'm afraid to be alone
Too many opportunities
Too many thoughts running through my mind
I'm afraid to be alone with myself.
