Do not say that you love me
When we both know the words are hollow
And are certain of what is to follow:
Deep wrenching and searing hurt
That will pitch camp in my heart.
Do not say that you feel safe
While you are wrapped in my arms
Knowing that you will cause me harm-
Because I left my heart open-
And my wounds you chose to deepen.
Do not say that you need me
Or paint illusions to blind me
I have seen love in all its confusion
And suffered from its disillusion
Learning that words are just words
Do not say those words to me
“ That you will never
let me go”
“ That you will pick me up when I am low”
That you will never hurt me
That you never wish to lose me
Do not say I am the best
When we both know I
am the worst
Do not make me
promises you will break
For those I no longer take
If you say you love me,
Let time tell the truth
Let it show what your heart holds
But do not paint me illusions,
I am tired of them
