please...

Please don’t say you love me

When all you do is cause me pain.

Don’t tell me you’ll never let me down

When you’ve beat my heart to the ground.

Please let me move on

And forget all you’ve ever meant

So I may move past this love

And let my heart heal its wounds.

Please don’t let me remember

How good it feels to be with you

When every day I risk losing more of my soul to you

Please, don’t look at me in that way-

That way that makes me feel like the world was made for you and me.

Please don’t tell me you love me too

When I know I’d be better off without you.

Without the warmth of everything we are

Everything that makes me smile and laugh

And everything that keeps me up at night crying.

Please don’t love me.

This is really great. Everything flows nicely and you can feel the emotion the narrator is feeling when she's telling this person that she doesn't want them to love her.
Good work, keep it up,
