Where am I?

I am laying alone
naked
by the side of the road
numb, empty
I take only shallow breaths
afraid if I breathe deeper
it will all break

I have strength
to pull myself up
and run
my speciality, you know

I exposed fragile skin
the cool winds were biting
the warmth inviting
the silence terrifying

I want to stroll in the garden
with you in my arms
but I fear
and I run
as you fade away

I ask too much
more than I can allow myself to receive
I feel you tire of me
my armour intact
my confusion high
I cry... but leave you be
