Alone. Such a simple word, only five letters, seemingly without a deeper meaning oftentimes. But this is not so, could never be so. Once you spend enough time in solitude it comes to be expected that that is what you wish when nothing could be farther from the truth.

You fight, and train, perform your duties, even engage in conversation. Precious barriers are erected, while inside you cry bloody tears. Can you really blame them, for all it hurts? Maybe you're just a little too good at hiding behind your walls of stone and heart of ice.
