"Chosen Isolation"

"Chosen Isolation"

I just didn't know
That this chosen isolation
Could be like this
A very lonely destination

And before today
I hadn't felt
This frightening eternity
The one that I had dealt

With ties broken
And obligations let go
Trusted friends are even gone
When I needed them so

And so the sad truth remains
That I will be alone
I just didn't think
This is something I would have known
