I will not be / all by myself in the night

I will not be
implicated
in your psychosis

not be held to
blame for conditions
I didn't conjure

not be responsible
for lost or stolen
valuables --

so lock up your
open heart
which has baited me

these many years
and bailed on me
so many times

leaving me cold,
without a partner
or covers, shivering

all by myself in the night.
