It's not you...it's me

I find myself pushing you away.

"Don't get too close please, I'm sorry, but I don't want you that close to my heart." I said

"Why?" you asked sadly

I'm sorry I don't want to hurt you, because I'm afraid of being hurt myself.  It's not your fault.  It's hers and hers and hers.  All three of them put my heart through pains that I didn't think was possible.  Each made me feel like dying.  And each fooled me into thinking they were different from the last.

I loved each of them with every ounce of love that dripped from my heart.  I wrote countless poems and prose pieces for each of them.  And each one did things to my heart that I rather have not experienced.  

So I hope you understand why I can't love you.

And I'm not about to say this because there are some other reasons behind it and I'm trying to sugar coat all of this, I really mean it.

It's not you...it's me.
