Just One More Scar

My resolve was solid: An unmoving stone, Covered in cold scars From years of being alone. I was never attached. I kept my distance. But you... drew me in Despite my resistance. Fascination, curiosity, Grew to admiration. Then gave rise to delusion: My ultimate aberration. I forced myself to think That the signs were misleading. That maybe somehow I was just bad at reading. But like dawn breaks, The truth comes out. I wanted to kill, I wanted to shout. My unmoving resolve Demanded blood! But before I could speak Tears came, in a flood. Now my resolve fails, Faltering as I watch from afar. The stone freezes again. After all... it's just one more scar.
