Dear love if by chance you ever find me
My heart and I beg you keep your distance
Please do not make your presence known to me
Promise us you will hide your existence
I'm sorry these words may hurt you to hear
But I must warn you, you are unwanted
You are the reason for so many tears
Please don't make us your next hunted
Rejection you'll find upon your arrival
A walled off heart surrounded by fire
Our tactic to ensure our survival
Keeping you away, my heart's desire
Our greatest fear is you will come then go
That when we fall, we'll have but scars to show
Its okay and I love it! If Shakespeare were alive to have read this, He sure would have given you kudos. Keep it up!
