He keeps to himself. Only seeking reflection.
Solidarity is a reward of protection.
Guess there’s no harm in being your one and only selection.
The look of another carries the risk of rejection.
Why not? What’s the harm? I’m wanting to be left alone.
I have a feeling life for me might work best alone.
It’s like they come around, but never stay around.
Emotions bloodied on the floor as they lay around.
Draw me in with the surface level emotions. They deceive.
Maybe I should be the one who runs first before they leave.
They say they’ll stay with me, but never honor the letter.
It always seems like they’ll leave and find someone better.
They say ones who claim to love me are the ones I can’t bare to face.
It looks like I’ll always be abandoned and replaced.

Let us hope that someone will prove you wrong about being abandoned... as for the being replaced-- well at least we who have known loss also know that the gap does get filled... like a temporary filling.. never quite as good as the original
