please remember, not to fall in love with a sad girl
not because she is broken beyond repair but because
she will remember every word you say to her,
every compliment, every joke and she will over analyze it all
and they will echo in her head late at night
being with her will be like walking on pins, you will
never know what to say or how to act without setting
off an untimely grenade because at the end
of the day that is what she is-
a grenade
a ticking time bomb waiting to explode and to destroy
and when she does blow up she will need someone to
help her pick up the pieces with an unyielding grace and
impossible patience, and that someone will not be you
because no matter what you tell her now,
you will soon get tired of cold nights and bony shoulders
and constantly saying yes you are worth it
you will get tired of it all
so please, do not fall in love with a sad girl we will enchant you
with our thoughtfulness and our perspectives on life
we will captivate you and trick you into thinking that you can fix us
but you can't, it is all just a labyrinth of suffering
and in the end you will end up being the pin that somehow
sets off the grenade

please do not fall in love with a sad girl,
*please do not fall in love with me
