Cacophony

don't
don't give your heart to me.
I will break it
because I have never known
what to do with that fist-sized muscle
in my clumsy fingers.

don't
don't say you love me.
I will say it back and not mean it
because i have never known
how to say, ''sorry, i don't feel the same''
without sounding rude.

don't
don't fall for me.
I will not catch you
because i have never known
the definition of 'love'
but i might just ruin it for you.
