Unlove me

Unlove me, because I carry the weight of it too heavily,

and because I am already detached from myself.

*

Unlove me, because I am terrified of losing you,

and because I am petrified of getting lost in you.

*

Unlove me, because I am scared of aching,

and because I am afraid of hurting you.

*

Unlove me, because I am too much to handle,

and because I might ruin your peace.

*

Unlove me, because you will never see the real me,

and because you might witness my struggles.

*

Unlove me, because I don't make sense.

*

Unlove me, because I am wounded,

and because I will scar you.

*

Unlove me, because I fear safety,

and because I cannot protect you.

*

Unlove me, because I deny myself bliss,

and because I cannot provide you with joy.

*

Unlove me, because I yearn for solace I'll never be able to embrace,

and because I will never be able to give you the comfort you deserve.

*

Unlove me, because I will not trust you,

and because I am not trustworthy enough.

*

Unlove me, because I show no mercy,

and because I am unable to forgive myself.

*

Unlove me, because my existence is tainted,

and because I only shine when you ask me to.

*

Unlove me because I know you will abandon me,

and because I will abandon you first.

*

Unlove me, because my heart is filled with sweet bitterness,

and because all I see is how you would never see me.

*

Unlove me, because I cannot verbalize my feelings,

and because I will never comprehend yours.

*

Unlove me because I won't be loving enough,

and because I won’t be loving you.

*

Unlove me, because I already loathe you,

and because I already surrendered the thought of us.
