Don't. Don't look at me.
For it scares me that every time
You look my way
You'll see only disappointment.
Disappointment I never want you to feel
And sadness that's hard to heal.
No. Don't hear me as I speak.
Cause when you do listen
I start to tremble,
Nervous that I might
Say something wrong.
Afraid that there may come
A time you'd walk away.
Stop. Don't smile my way.
Don't touch me.
Don't feel me.
It may cause my undoing.
I might break.
I might fall but please…
Don't blame me…
Because I don't want to…
I can't…
I can't just stop loving you…
Author's Note: Another of those free verse poems in a lover's point of view. Another of those "wallowing in self-pity" poems I always end up writing. Crap. I hate myself. I
don't know why I always write such crap…well…hope you at least appreciate the effort I put into typing this one as well…
Crap…as Filipinos say…tinatamaan ako…crap…
Post script: this poem was written around the time I wrote "Tomorrow".
