Please

You don’t know what I think.

You don’t know who I am.

You can’t know what I feel.

I hide in the shadows.

They are my home.

I know you care.

I know you ache.

But... I can’t be bothered by your emotions.

I see you hurt as I turn away.

I feel your pain.

I just can’t love you don’t you see?

Love is weakness and I need to be strong.

But then, I look at you, and I hurt all the more.

I’m ripping my heart out.

My soul yearns for you but...

I cannot feel emotions.

I have no conscience.

Please don’t make me love you.

Please don’t make me care.

Please let me return to the shadow.

Please let me return to the darkness.

Please let me run.

Please let me hide.

Please.

Please don’t say you love me.
