"LOOK AWAY!"

"LOOK AWAY!"

Written 2018-11-12

A familiar sign

You thought you’d seen the sun

under the gloomy night sky

that you’d break a smile

Yes, he was beautiful,

‘though you were scared to be fooled

again and again

Before him,

it had been a pain

Are you surely ready?

No?

Then look away

He might be just another distraction, you know?

Right now,

you can’t afford to go astray

‘though you silently wish:

“Come what may.”

For now,

this is as far as you should go.

Not yet, no more.

Protect your broken heart,

by locking its door.
