Don't tell me that you love me anymore <br />Don't whisper sweet devotions in my ear <br />Don't kiss me when you're tasting someone else <br />Don't promise me the world then take it back <br />Don't tell me that I'm lovely when I'm not <br /> <br />I know that you're in love with someone else <br />I know you say the words I want to hear <br />I know your kiss means nothing anymore <br />I know the world is not your gift to give <br />I know my face is not the one you crave <br /> <br />So let's not play this silly little game <br />The things that mattered once are not the same <br />Don't keep me for your back-up when you're bored <br />Just let me be someone that you adored.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-2/
