please do not smother me
smothering implies force
it implies suppression
aggression
oppression
Or asphyxiation
it is something not being wanted
instead engulf me in your love
let me be immersed in it
cradle me in it
Coddle me
shelter me
let me breathe
So i can appreciate it
and feel it all around me
that makes it so much better
ever so soft
ever so loving
ever so gentle
I understand why you want to smother
i do
but you’re somebody
you’re important
You’re love is important
the best thing you can give along with your time.
It’s valuable,
so you shouldn’t give it if it is not unwanted
even to me
Or at least don’t make it a habit with anyone
you see
because you are too precious
and valuable
and important
but thank you
I do
I appreciate the gesture and the thought.
I do
I want your love but not like that
just not that way
just not by suffocation
I want to be engulfed in it
there’s a difference
