Plea

Don't say that you love me,
I'd rather not know.
Instead of the words,
I'd rather you show
Me the meaning of love
When feelings are real.
Don't say a word to me,
Show how you feel.

Don't flatter me
To show me you care,
Meaningless phrases
Will get you nowhere.
Don't speak a word that would
Tempt me to leave you.
Don't give me reason
To disbelieve in you.

I've heard all the lines
A few times before,
Please do not use them
With me, I implore.
More than a fool,
I was sucking it in-
Don't make me believe
What would kill me again.
