I no longer wish for a true love's kiss
Or a frog turned into my prince
Or a knight in shining armor
Coming to me in his white horse, slaying dragons
I figured out I needed to stop drowning my head in fairytales
As I grow older, as my heart gradually decays
All I want now are these:
I wish no one will pour out their hearts to me
I will only leave immediately, without a word, and never come back
I wish no one will look at me with tenderness and love
I will only give a look of grimace
I wish no one will feel butterflies at the sight of me
I am made up of all your worst nightmares and fears
I wish no one will feel electricity in their veins every time we touch
I am composed of thousands of volts; I will burn you alive
I wish no one will smile at me with admiration
I will only flash back a joker smile because love is one bloody joke
I wish no one will fall in love with me
I can't even love myself, but I'm trying; I'm fixing myself
But you need to get away from a construction-zone
Please save yourself; don't even try to touch a rotting heart
Stop being a missionary; you'll never save me
I wish to save those who will try to love me
Don't. I warned you.
