In defense of only

For the beast within
I won't turn you away
For if I acknowledge
And face you
Then there is no need to
Make union
With that of another
Whose owner
Cannot abide.

It needn't take malice
To be ignorant of one's flaws.
It's amazing
Actually,
How I can see your lack of depth.

We are both educated  you and I.
True,
You are better at numbers  than me
Yet
You've found no equation
To explain your lack of insight.

Of course I'm full of judgement
Which is why I quickly ushered
You
In the direction of the nearest exit.

Being a fool
You thought that being alone
A little melancholy,
Gave you an advantage
Meant that I was weak.
That word being cute
So often used
Realising too late
There are claws in it too.

And so we are at the exit sign again.
It's quite clear you don't get  it
Afterall,
Look how far you've come
A life spent
With no regret
For how can you
You're outwardly decent
Like any other.

Your jokes being terrible aside,
Your lack of depth and excuses
You should lock yourself up.

That's what I said Monday
Friday,
And my foot won't stand still
I'd rather be alone
Than have you pursue me.
False disguises of Eros won't fool me.
