don't say you love me if you don't mean it
don't look me in the eye and say "you complete me"
when you're perfectly whole without needing pieces
don't tell me you can't live without me
as I watch the continuous rise and fall of your chest
you're breathing
don't tell me you can't imagine a life without me
yet you wake up everyday
happier than you've been
don't tell me I'm all you need
when I wasn't enough but she was
don't look me in the eyes and tell me these lies
you know I'll believe them
every single word you say
I'll swallow whole
because while you lie to me
and string me along
I cling to every word
like they are a lifejacket
and I was at risk of drowning

it's funny how sharing my poems , the thing i am the most scared of, always feels like home.
