Solitary: Poem/Song

I never form bonds
without wondering
when they will break

I never take on
'til I know how much
of the strain I can take

I'm never the one
being left on the stairs
begging you to stay

no one leaves me
I'm always the one
who's walking away

I've been self-contained
in my plexiglass brain
no one can get through my shield

and who crosses the line
of high voltage defense
gets fried in the electron field

you're the exception
to my perfect rule
you've spoiled my plan

you got past my walls
so I'll make you pay
the best that I can

H. Shmulsky, 2010
