The Object of the Game (Free verse) by Dovina

He wallows in hurt of women who wronged him of lovers so shallow they stab him on whims and leave the very next morning Ignoring their words and their wounds he finds others to love and be hurt by They tell him why all this is but he’d rather suffer than listen He’d rather ignore their multiplied pain While holding his treasure close

No, this android, though predictable, will not this time say what you expect. I see what you and shuushin mean about the first verse and will clarify it thus:

He wallows in hurt-
women who wronged him
Lovers so shallow they stab him on whims
leave the very next morning

The second verse is already clear, I think, but it changes from human to android. It ceases to pass for human as the first verse may.
