Don't Make me Your Everything

I dunno

Don't make me your everything.

I'll only disappoint.

I don't have anything,

And I like it that way.

So don't make me your everything.

Because you're not mine.

I don't know that you can be.

I don't know that anyone can.

And you'll just get hurt.

So please,

Don't make me your everything.

Find something else to be your reason.

To be your cure.

Because I'm anything but.

I won't let you give me enough credit,

Not enough to be a reason,

To be everything.

I won't let you fall.

Because I won't catch you.

And I won't let you catch me.

Because I won't fall.

No if.

I won't.

And if you leave,

It won't hurt me.

I don't want to hurt you if I leave.

You say these pretty words,

To try to make me your everything.

But please please don't.

All your lovely words are appealing.

But they're not for me.

And I'm not for you.

I'm not for anyone.

I'm all alone.

I don't have anything.

And that's the way I like it.

Don't make me your everything.

This was very good! The title caught my attention initially. I've not ever wanted to be another persons "everything" because it is way, way too much responsibility!
