A Voyager?

If I live the life of a voyager every night
will this reduce the stresses of my life?
If I hearts win and break during my travels
and if I break the hearts trying to win me
does this mean I am a lover, or a destroyer?

Does it matter to me if I win and break he or she
the ones I'm loving or hating, should it matter to me?
should it matter really what I do to them?
After all, this is me this what the voyager does.
Come and go as I please I don't stay for anyones pleas.

Does this mean I'm a lover and a destroyer?
coming and going, no ones ever knowing when I'll flee.
Should I, do I care? Do they know that really I care?
I can't help running away, when you souls want me to stay,
It hurts to stay in rushing waters, I must flee to perceived safety.

I must run away, before any hurt to me you cause.
I must flee to safer waters, a safer slow moving atmosphere.
So my being a voyager doesn't mean I hate you or they
but means I'm afraid of any pain that you or they may cause.
If I'm a destroyer, I'm sorry, if I'm a lover, I'm sorry.

Can we please be just friends, whomever you are?

Author notes

I wrote this because I have a hard time staying committed to most people that come into my life. I feel I should remain distant or I'll suffer anxiety, fearing I'll never get away from whatever I can't see.

    If I'm a destroyer, I'm sorry, if I'm a lover, I'm sorry
    I loved the parallelism in those lines.
