Love not for me

I want to run from love,

The kind that cuts, that pushes and shoves.

I know it's not meant for someone like me,

Yet still, I search for what could be.

Love is the shadow pulling me astray,

A haunting spell that leads me away.

I want to escape from love's embrace,

Why does it try to erase my place?

At times, I wonder if I, too, could belong,

To someone’s heart, a place I’d long.

I crave the sound of love’s gentle voice,

Yet flee from a bond that leaves no choice.

I want to break free from love's hold,

Yet something in me clings to words untold.

A force binds me, close by your side,

Hearing secrets that love can’t hide.

I dream of freedom, beyond love’s reign,

But I wake to find myself chained again.

I want to run from love’s cruel light,

Breaking my walls, dissolving my night.

I beg you to leave before you see,

The parts of me that know not love’s plea.

Please, go on—I’m a shadow alone,

In a world where love remains unknown.
