don't tell me you love me
when you mean to say
you're going to rip my heart
right out of my chest,
and crush it right in front of me

don't say that you care
if at sight of my scars,
you decide
that you can't handle me
and that you need to leave

tell me the truth,
that I'm not worth it
and that I don't mean enough to you
for you to remain
here with me
