Don't
Dammit all---
Don't love me---
Yes, I know you mean well,
but you didn't do the damage
so you can't do the fixing.
I love you isn't a kiss
on a scraped knee,
or a lump of sugar
to help me get some harsh medicine down.
I know you want to help---
but I am faltering here
and if I try to take your hand
I might end up
loosing my grip completely.
So please---
don't love me now---
I just can't bear it.
