Don't

I often stumble, errors left behind, Yet my memory fails to hold them in mind. They call me wild, perhaps a touch insane, Yet solitude's my solace, where I gain. To welcome you in, heed my caution's plea, When I whisper "don't," listen carefully to my, don't, don't Don't read it I think about how offended you made me feel Contemplating the untruths you believed I'd never see, Musing on the possibility, could a crush on me possibly be? I think of how wierd it was that I was accused of that crime in 2013 or how I feel I couldn't possibly exist Hours of thought, a relentless tide, To unburden my mind, on paper I confide but... don't, don't read it Don't, don't Don't believe I think I like the way you speak I think you have a beautiful smile and everytime you walk into the room you bring all the light in with you so...I let you know but don't, don't believe Perhaps it's the eloquence that flows from your lips, The beauty of coaxing your smile with little quips. Each entrance, an opportunity to slip away, So please, don't be swayed, I earnestly convey. and... don't, don't believe don't, don't don't love me I know how crazy that sounds I have a motto to always return a favor done in time but how can I return a love when I don't know how ...to look in your eyes when I'm terrified light up everytime you walk by tell me, how can I lose a friendship for a love I cannot buy And if I can't buy your affection, I'll always stand tall, Holding an advantage, no matter what befalls. Thus, I implore, please don't, don't love me Don't, don't Don't go Don't offer a smile when you turn away, Then wear a frown when I'm in need of your display. don't say you'll be my friend one second and then act like we've never met, it's absurd don't say you are my bff then let an accident decide the last f. don't act like you're my dearest friend only to let fate cut our ties in the end. But if you really mean to stay. then please don't go. Always inquire, seek the truth that's true, Is your intent genuine, or mere words that you spew? Or perhaps let me be, in solitude's embrace, For I err without memory, in life's complex maze.
