Leave Me Alone

Leave me alone,

For your good I say,

I can give you nothing,

Yes! Destroy I may!

I am a broken shard of glass,

Be it to put me together,

Be it to make more pieces,

Either way you be hurt if you touch,

I am a labyrinth of enigma,

Be it to take me back out,

Be it to make me lose sense,

Either way you be lost if your search,

I am a tortured ember now,

My touch may give you boils,

The boils may give you marks for life,

I am pain, I hurt when touched!

Leave me alone, I was not made to be loved,

Walking with me will tire you,

For my paths are twisted and curved,

Leave me alone, I warn you for the last time,

For I too love you mad,
And can’t act for long this time.
