You say,
You miss me
And I'll say,
Please don't.
I might be all sugar and sweet
And everything in between.
But I am that because
I am distant.
I could only be that
with distance.

You say,
You want me
And I'll say,
Please don't
I might be all that someone ever desires.
But I am that because
I make up a figment
In their world too big.

You say,
You love me.
Wanting me,
to be in love with you too
You claim to love all of me
But you know
Only this version of me.

And
My dear
Its because,
I am not just this one entity.
And all the others, that I am
Are too huge to be handled.
And I'd like to be handled with care
I might cater every one of your demons
But mine,
They'll swallow you whole
And they won't leave the bones,
or ashes
or air.

So if you ever say,
You love me
I'll still say
Please don't
Because I might be
The best me,
Alone.
