Emotionally Independent

Don’t believe in fairytales, won’t even try to
That hope is lost way far behind…
Past scars hurt till this day, not allowing him to feel right…
Can’t let his guard down, cause the Heart is weak to the sensations the body feasts on.
Not easily fooled,
even knowing that the happiest of them all are those unaware of their own foulnesses.
Feeling is dangerous, loving is madness.
Live by this motto and he will be safe
Can’t risk losing the little that is left.

Realized things were swirling out of control,
hit the brakes before driving off the cliff of tempting emotion,
deep into the dark lighted abyss of deception once again.
Been there, done that, he refuses to go back.

Emotionally independent, isolated, protected. Taking each fall from grace as a sedative to human weaknesses…
I wish I was capable of being that unfaithful to my own nature,
maybe then, like you, I would easily say
“Love is for the weak minded”, and agree.
