Please, no

for those that believe that they are unworthy of the love of another

"I love you" 

No

Please, no

You don't want to love me

You don't want to love me

You see my laughter

My smiles, jokes, joys

You see my happiness

And my feelings for you

And you say that's why you love me

But there's so much you don't see

That I don't show you

Because I don't want you to know

Anything other than my smile

Beneath what I present

Is a dam

Broken by the pressure of too many tears

Is a thread

Shredded and frayed from the cracks in my heart

Is a story

Written into the flesh of a girl who can't cope

Is the truth

That I'm not someone who deserves to be loved

"I love you"

No

Please, no

You don't want to love me

You don't want to love me

Please, just go

Get out of the place that those words have sent you

Go find a girl

With clear eyes

With a heart in one piece

With perfect

Untouched

Unmarred skin

Please

Love her instead

I know that if I lift my shield 

You won't love me

You will run

Or you will try to fix this

To fix me

And either choice will finally shatter me

I'm just a girl 

A broken, unsteady girl

And I want so much more for you

Than the empty soul I have to offer

"I love you" 

No

Please, no

You might love me

I don't want you to love me

No

Please, no

Go love a girl

Who can actually look at herself

No

Please, no

You don't want to love me

I don't want you to love me
