Old Friend

Hello there again, my old friend
I didn't invite you, nor I ever do
How long will you stay?
Or will you ever go away?
Have you been here all along?
I thought you were gone, will you prove me wrong?
As long as you're here, don't come in too near
Keep a safe distance, don't consume
Find your own place at the edge of the room

At least when I'm all alone, I know I can find you at my home
Always by my side, willing to be my guide
Like an unsound ghost,
Providing me with company when I need it most
But I wish you would let me be, and give back my eyes to see
I'm falling when with you, how do I know what's true?
Perhaps I gave you an invitation, and it wasn't just your manipulation
But never would I ask for such an intrusion,
That brings nothing more than empty seclusion
No matter how far I push you away, I fear with me you will always stay
Whenever I think it's going to end,
There you are again, my old friend
