She said,
"You scare people away from you",
and it's true.
It's my tendency. My thing.
If I can be alone now,
I can be forever.
It's too much
to end up letting people down
and I can't keep doing that to myself.
When it's too much work
to figure someone out
and it's too easy
to give up and walk away,
then maybe-
         no, definitely-

I'm a life lesson,
any way you look at it.
And I'm not afraid
of you being afraid...
I'm deserving of effort
just like everyone else is,
so take your wisdom with you
to where it's better served
in simple gestures of the like unkind.
Your six words in three days
say more
than any book you ever learned from
and if I'm a hermit in the end
then I've succeeded
where you went wrong.
