Don’t hold me close to your chest
embracing in your warmth
giving me space in your soul

Nor do you brace me in your eyes
for you to see the world
through my brimming thoughts

Detest my world,
disown me from your dreams,
detach me from your heart,
for If I am drowning in you,
and soon I will not to survive
