the line drawn (Alfonso)

where’s the line drawn between independence and loneliness?
I can be on my own
I can make it by myself
but is it desirable? Desirable to me?
I am passionate, I have passion
for ideas, my dreams, the world
but not for another, not for some time
and I ask why?
I find interest but won’t be swayed
while others travel by their head
my heart guides my eyes and feet
the line drawn is a thin and fragile one
so fragile, it may deteriorate
the two fields mesh into a whole
in a hole, I find myself
sinking into quick sand of confusion
emotions, thoughts and heart beats
they have so much meaning
that they’re too wide to see, they loses their meaning
it is heart break or numbness?
my eyes see things as they do
an object next to another
my eyes see things as they do
a memory exciting uncontrollable emotion
the line drawn curves and twists
and makes no sense
emotion grows and fades
passion embarks and is lost
where is the line drawn?
