Isolation Over Intimacy

Intimacy Over Isolation

Isolation Over Intimacy

Choose solitude
I never have to
Concern myself with others
I persistently
Evade connections
I fail to see why others
Invest so deeply
I truly do
What is best for me
Companionship always brings
Needless suffering
I can't even imagine

I can't even imagine
Needless suffering
Companionship always brings
What is best for me
I truly do
Invest so deeply
I fail to see why others
Evade connections
I persistently
Concern myself with others
I never have to
Choose solitude
