Don't.

Blank pages. Empty words.
Meaningless sentences.
Nothing to say; nothing to mean.

How could I stand here and lie
right to your face? Spill emotions
that don't exist onto a canvas
all too passive to handle this.

Listen closely, for I won't repeat--
I can't cope with all that you want
me to. I can't divulge the secrets
of years ago because it's a game for you.

Don't expect too much from me.
My lips will remain sealed, my eyes
fastened tight for I will not trust myself
even if you say you do.

I'm not the friend you need or want.
Just a stand-in, a decoy til you find
what you really need. So don't expect
too much. Don't wait for me.
