I just want to be noticed and loved as well

In silent nights I hear sirens,
joking for years about them coming for us;
but that night was no joke;

a knock at the door,
a message from a friend,
a locked room;

a scream,
a wail,
a puddle;

in the silence of the night I hear a heart monitor steady.

Sunup
expectations low-
another day aimed my way

- till the sky became
a color never named
and changed my world - again,

a new day.

One day, I hope
We will meet again,
And we will talk all day
And love and laugh...

Don't ever write me a love letter.
I just might end up falling in love.

Don't look at me.
I don't want to get any ideas and get starry eyed.

Don't flirt with me.
I will remember everything you say
And store it in a tiny compartment in my heart.

Don't hug me.
I will only crave more once I have a taste of those drugs.

Lastly, most importantly,
Don't ever fall in love with me.
I don't want my heart to be broken
And I don't want to break yours either.
