Not today



Please don't tell me you love me today

Because I am incapable of returning the sentiment

 

Too many times I've been broken

My father

My God

My mother

My brother

They, and so many more, have all broken me

 

So please don't say those three words

They mean everything

Everything that I cannot feel today

 

Maybe someday

After I've reunited the pieces of my soul

 

But not today

Please don't tell me you love me today
