No Wonder I Don't Want Your Love

by Nicole M. - Gemini

For the longest time
I've wondered why
I wouldn't fall in love
With a seemingly perfect guy.
But now as my stone face melts
From the tears streaking down my face
That your love hurts to much
It's something I think I don't deserve.
The love that feels so good
Cuddled up in everyone else's hearts
Just seems to claw and tear at my chest
Trying to get out
Sufficating me and itself.
I don't want love
I'm just one person
That doesn't deserve
it
Whether it's because
Of the pimp in the grocery store
Telling a thirteen year old
How nice her sweater looked on her
And wanted to give her a call
Or the photographer in preschool
Showing my just how pretty
He thought I was.
All the love from men
Strangers
Have hurt
So why should your's
Be any different.
