Silent

He won't get invested, he can't get attached

He can't afford the pain of the same mistake

But oddly it feels like another chance of redemption

His guards are easily passed and she reaches the room of his heart

She stays awhile, and surely he gets used to her company

He doesn't say it, he believes it to be understood

He couldn't if he tried, she always left him speechless

His massive love for her was his flaw, he feared it might push her away

So he kept quiet about it, and over time it became a burden they both shouldered

It proved too much for her to bear, so she left him for another

Not accepting his inadequacies, he blamed her for leaving him

"She left me when I needed her the most," he said

He wasn't wrong

He won't get invested, he can't get attached

Yesterday's sorrows still linger with him deep in his heart

He's loss the ability to smile truly, the closest he comes is a scolding stare

He now lost his faith in others, but his love cannot change

Yet another woman shows up with a tongue of gold

He knew not to let her in, but being deprived of love he did so anyways

She showed him affection like no other, it was motivation

"It was too great," he thought, "Too good to be true."

So he let her have the wheel sometime, but ensured he kept his distance

She eventually grew weary of this behavior and left his side

That's what he expected to happen of course,

But he couldn't shake the feeling that he was missing out

But he wasn't wrong

He won't get invested, he can't attached

Now he's decided that it's much better to be alone then with anyone else

Then during his daily routine, a female catches him out of his nonchalant phase

Her interest is peaked, she asks him to be with him, he can't give an answer

There is now a growing tension between the two

Until he feels another has her attention

Refusing to be played by the hands of another, he again removes himself

This time it was different, she assures him that he has nothing to worry about

But its too late, in his distrusting actions he let the precious time pass

Now she's gone, and he was wrong
