Please, Don't Love Me

You-

You are perfection,

Honest and true

And curious.

I lie,

Pretend I still am

What I once was.

Beauty of flesh means nothing

But if it did

You would still hold more than I

In your cheeks,

Your hair,

Your smile;

It flows through your words,

Your actions,

Your essence.

I am not fit to look at you

With such admiration

Yet falling is made easier with you.

I hate that it is.

My blackened wings are clipped

And making me tumble,

Crash.

It is silly almost

That I should feel this way

Though my heartbeat is slowly becoming your name,

My smile your property,

My hope all yours

But no matter what I want

Choose not to love me

Because I will ruin you,

Destroy you,

Kill you.

Pluck feather after feather

Of your miraculous wings

Until you can no longer fly.

I want you to soar.

So please, I am begging you,

Please do not love me.

I find this a strong statement. It leaves me with alot of mixed emotions. In some ways I feel it is a indirect cry out for understanding and compassion, and yet in another manner, it comes across as a bit of an in your face statement. If the purpose of this piece is to make the reader think about it that way, I would say it is extremely successful in doing so.
