Mind's Best Protection
It starts off innocently
Well, at least for most
Light laughter and easy eyes
I almost let go — almost
I tend to overthink
Only my few know
The scenarios plotted in my head
Always let me have the last blow
Lessons from my past
Catalogued in my head
Set my goal for the future:
Be a step ahead
Don’t feel more
Don’t get caught in that trap
A dangerous slope leads away
Only awaken by the coldest slap
Rejection is my ultimate fear
These scenarios are the impenetrable wall
Carefully plotted
Preventing the eminent fall
One rule to live by
One rule shattered
Don’t fall harder
Let love keep you flattered
But do not let the heart
Facet affections to a lesser love
For the end result
Will be a cold hearted shove
Hope and an open heart
Were my ultimate flaw
To my overthought walls
Causing the Ice Queen thaw
Lesson learned
No oversight to again occur
Erase the scribbles on the master plan
The Ice Queen returns to deter
Let them fall the hardest
Let them love in vain
For those who feel less love
Feel less pain
