This is a poem about the way I feel when people hurt me emotionally.

Single Self

As I sit my eyes wander, They settle on you across the room, A simple glance to change my world. As you walk toward me I remember past experiences with people like you, The hurt and pain, The deep gashes in my soul. Yet you still lure me, Catch me in your web like a helpless fly, Struggling uselessly. And it ends like it has before, My soul ripped, My heart shattered, And that is why I stay a single self.
