Your emptiness

by

Do not fill my empty

Because you are emptiness in itself

Do not praise my beauty

Because my beauty should be there without your praise

Do not say you love me

Because loving me is what I should do

Do not make me yearn

Because yearning makes me so sad

Do not make me happy

Because when you go my happiness goes

Love lost
