"LOOK AWAY!" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"

A familiar sign
You thought you’d seen the sun
under the gloomy night sky
that you’d break a smile

Yes, he was beautiful,
‘though you were scared to be fooled
again and again
Before him,
it had been a pain

Are you surely ready?
No?
Then look away
He might be just another distraction, you know?
Right now,
you can’t afford to go astray
‘though you silently wish:
“Come what may.”

For now,
this is as far as you should go.
Not yet, no more.
Protect your broken heart,
by locking its door.
