This side of me isolated
Bliss rides overrated
Quick slap on wrist
Hold back curled fists
Not one foot outside the wall
Neither bricks nor hearts did fall
All things considered
The best stays undelivered
Run, run, Run away
Not here to stay
The moments are not regretted
Though this heart remains isolated

There is no word that can't be rhymed
