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.
