twisted logic - when one door closes, another opens

chemistry in context I

it normally starts out as dative bond towards something electronegative
(that gal who u recognise from ur dreams)

very soon denial sets in and u attempt to use e screening effect to hide e free electrons
(maybe im just tinking too much)

but one day it appeared like it wasnt dative after all
it is covalent
(did she do that cos im around?)

and e world seems so fine so wonderful
(e sun looks so bright and smiley up in e sky)

electrons now jumped to a higher energy level
seeking formation of a pi and sigma bond
(i should take e initiative shouldnt i?)

but things are never easy
seems like electron affinity is not so unique
(do i stand a chance?)

after a long long time of wandering in lost orbits
it became covalent
(life is beautiful)

but it turned out to be ionic
u have a stronger affinity for electrons
distorting that of the bonded atom
(i like her more than she likes me)

both of u became more aware of surroundings
became prone to id-id interactions
(maybe i would be better off with her instead)

lattice energy was considered
q+q- became weak
r+r- increased
soon lattice energy became endothermic
instability can no longer be contained
two atoms go in separate directions

fairy tales are meant for e storybooks
