Duet among Selves

Uno

When everyone
Leaves me, I’ll
Write, honestly

~*~

Dos

Honestly!
When everyone leaves
I will write!

~*~

Tres

Honestly?
Yes, I will, I will!
But, truly?

~*~

Hahaha!!

"When everyone
Leaves me, I’ll
Write, honestly"

Does this mean that you haven't been writing honestly all this time because someone wouldn't leave? Or, do you mean that if everyone will just get the hell out of your business you'll write, honestly!

Uh, I'm afraid to tackle the other two verses, might get me in big time trouble, and word is out on you, you're tough.

Thank you, Gentlemen.

Hmmmm. "Tough". Someone is possibly referring to my old, dried up self.

I like the development. But everyone can leave, and I'll still never write truly.  Someone might come back and notice.

Ah, but you are writing, and the proof is just above.
Maybe that person just took a shower, and you had the time to write a few lines.
Send them to the store and you can jot a few more. Your fans are waiting.

Sissie...I know just what you mean.  Perhaps an assumed name would work until then?  Hmmm, maybe not.  I must say though, that I really enjoyed the honesty in this duet.
