Please don't tell me of your love,
Don't hold me up for all to see
On a pedestal far above,
Or play upon my sympathy.
That makes me look for an escape,
So I don't feel ensnared.
Our friendship ends in sorry shape,
I wish I could have cared.
Better to joke and quietly charm,
And let me find my way.
Careful words will do no harm,
And maybe I'll just stay.
