Please Don't

Please don't hurt me,

Like he did.

You say you are,

I can't take it.

I'm still burning from him,

I'd rather not die.

I need to do my job,

Loving you is part of it.

Please don't lie,

I still have trust issues.

I'm scared to trust you.

I have my reasons.

Not that you'll care to hear them.

He hurt me

And I'm terrified you'll do the same.

Lie, cheat, hit.

Please don't just throw away my feelings.

I am a person.

I'm not a toy,

I feel like it would be better if I was.

Please don't laugh at me.

Remember I'm sensitive.

You have a tendency to laugh at me,

When I'm trying to be serious.

Please just listen,

Just for a minute.

Please don't destroy me,

Hurt me that's fine,

But I can't go through it again.

I might not make it out this time.
