The Sadness With The Light Of Hope

Please Stay Away

I am not as good as you think.
I never will be.
I ruin everything I touch—
Every bond, every beautiful soul.

Please stay away.
Please don’t come near.
I might hurt you,
And my tears won’t fix you.

Don’t be close to me.
Don’t try to understand me or my mistakes.
Don’t talk to me.
Don’t look at me with eyes full of love.
Don’t think of me.
Don’t try to fix me.
Please stay away.

If you reach out, I might burn you.
If you come too close, I might tear you apart.
If you try to understand, it will hurt you more.
If you speak, I might steal your words.
If you look, I might blind you.
If you think of me, I’ll leave you drowning in thoughts.
If you try to heal me, I might cut you deeper.

Please stay away.
Please don’t love me.
Please don’t care for me.
Please ignore my presence.
I am not worth it.

I have craved warmth, yet left hearts broken.
I have been the reason happiness turned to despair.
I am horrible—
A soul marked with curses.
A storm that leaves nothing whole.

Please stay away.
Please don’t come near.
I might hurt you,
And my tears won’t fix you.

For me, loneliness is better than watching you fall.
You are kind, pure, full of love—
And my heart will never let you become
Like the others who were ruined because of me.

Please stay away.
Please don’t love me.
Please don’t come too close.
Please don’t look at me.
It will only bring you pain.

Please stay away.
