Everyone Leaves (Torn Apart)

When, if ever, will you return?
Without you my soul burns
I don’t like the heat

Everyone leaves eventually
Some sooner than others
To strive for eternal love equals defeat

I have unhealthy attachments
Some too intense, others lacking
Is there a middle in which to meet?

Who am I referring to?
Myself? Another? An ex? My father?
Isolation so profound, I can’t speak
