I can't take this
"I love you" bull--
people throw those words
at me like daggers
hoping to split the skin
over my heart.
I am not a target...
I am a person and
love kills me.
I don't want kisses
that will turn to
ashes once I say
"I love you back"
Those words are a trap
and I'm not falling
for them.
Give me a cold shoulder
or a dirty look
any day...that's better
than fake terms used
to get behind clothes.
I can't be your sweetheart...
I can barely be myself
lets not add fancy words
to this unbalanced
equation called love.
Tell me I'm ordinary
and that you can live
without me. Something
besides "I love you"
