Be a Cold Observer,
That's the only way
You can remain
Standing up, straight and tall,
Though it seems inhumane
To not feel anythong
At all.

I'd fall love with a
Cold observer,
I'd hang on to his every word.
Then when I'd lay out
My very soul,
He'd push me over the cliff
Down to the boulders below,
And I wouldn't blame him for
My fall.
Because he is simply
A Cold Observer,
The smartest way to go.

The author's comments:
I know it's confusing, but all it's really about is keeping yourself at a distance from people to avoid getting hurt, here aka cold observer.
