The art of self sabotage

Afraid of these feelings inside of you?
They swiftly pushed your soul to suicide
Now all that remains is a cold empty shell
Ghosts of memories passed succeed at isolating you
Smoothly evading questions, build towering walls...
They think that you’re a cold hearted freak
But the truth is that you are just afraid
Every time you feel something remotely human
Something that could grow into a lasting commitment
You conveniently find fault and end up sabotaging it
You dig deeper into the closet day and night
Till you find the skeletons that you have been keenly looking for
You swiftly rub the skeletons on their faces
Telling them that it just can’t work out between the two of you
That it’s not me…it’s you and your skeletons
Your ice cold nature is the only thing that protects you
It shields you from the brutal heart ache you once experienced
It’s just a simple case of once beaten twice shy
You seem to have taken the lesson to heart
Every glance at the mirror reminds you of the scars you carry
Drowning in the terror of rejection and neglect
All this fear has turned you into your worst enemy
The perpetrator of grim abandon and heart crushing.
Ultimately you lose. A coward never wins.
