Don't
Please don't sell me false dreams,
And leave me hanging onto empty hopes.
Don't hold my hand unless you mean it,
Don't hold my heart unless you intend to leave it unscathed.
Don't tell me all the things I long to hear,
If you're just going to take them away.
Don't care about me if you can't handle the burden,
Because I can take care of myself just fine.
Don't shower me with affection,
If it was just a momentary lapse of judgment.
Don't promise me happiness,
That you cannot deliver.
Don't tell me I'm beautiful,
Beauty can fade.
