Please, Don't

Not used to kind words

Don't call me your princess

with those sincere eyes and beautiful laugh

Not when you can't see inside

at the rotting thing that died

Don't tell me I'm beautiful

with those soft lips that never lied

Not when the me you claim to see

is simply a false reality

Don't ask me to stay

with that voice that knows no shame

Not when behind this strong facade

i'm too afraid to be by your side 

Please....

I just don't want to be lied to anymore

[Coyote Poetry]

Very good use of thoughts leading to the surprising ending. Sometime fear overtake the need to be held and love. I have known many women who gave up and wanted little. I believe less to lose when you have nothing to give. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry. I like the poetry that have twist and surprise ending.
