If in consideration
I find someone here,
I shall but find myself
Full of cheer.
For solitaire is a state
I have to inquire of.
For one moment I am seeking an escape from
What I never receive enough of.
If the misunderstanding
Finds your comprehension,
Please listen ever closely.
You must pay close attention.
Inside a little shelter wall
I built for self protection,
I’m surely regretting my motion,
For I’ve found self destruction.
