solitude and silence

I found a new poet tonight whose work I like a lot. I cannot seem to find anything about them though. There is quite an extensive collection of her work on poemhunter (i assume it is a she after reading a some poems). This is one of her pieces.

Solitude and Silence

All I have to offer
is solitude and silence.
No accomplishments to speak of,
having never finished anything
worth finishing
except bad relationships
and good friendships
I now regret not keeping.

Those I feel closest to
are the furthest away from me
while I keep myself distant
from those who are near.

If all you seek is solitude and silence,
this I can promise you without breaking.

I only ask in return, to be allowed
my silence and solitude
from you.
