I don't want or need your love.
Up from base or down from above.
Don't lay your rose tinted gaze
over my being in these days
Love leads to a broken heart.
As you will eventualy depart.
I won't fall into being vulnerable
My mind will stay clear so am able
To think rationaly and remain calm
I choose my sanity
It's not a sign of vanity
I just don't want to be flooded
With chemicals that have warped
My subjective perspective
Calmness, wellness, in my own space.
Are the things I chase.
Love can go, subjugate some other sap.
It won't fix me, it won't fill the gap.
Of where the hurt lives.
A darkness that does give
With the strength to say...
Please, don't love me.... Today.
Or tomorrow, or ever.
Respect me... Instead.
