A loose collection of thoughts and feelings

they keep their distance

and act like they don't care

don't dare to share

because they fear to be hurt

and if you come closer

they push you away

hoping you won't stay

because they fear to be hurt

so they look for your sore spot

and say bad things they don't mean

don't dare to dream of what could've been

because they fear to be hurt

they prefer to be a deserted island

and say they want to be alone

thinking that the bad ending is set in stone

because they fear to be hurt

so one day they look in the mirror and see what they really are

abandoned, thought they achieved their goals

but realizing they're just lost souls

who fear to be hurt
