it is like a sign,
a sign of misfortune
but in my case;
it is a person.
one or two
or just a couple of
people.
most of the time,
it is their parents
that forbids them to see me
and to those parents who
have enjoyed my company,
most of the time
their child becomes
one with the countless
faces of betrayal.
it is a win-win.
to risk or to not.
not to add up
the people I refuse to see.
perhaps
'no man is an island'
is a myth.
