Not Worth It

I look into your eyes,
And see what I can read,
The purest of the love,
You shouldn’t give to me,
I’m not worth your time,
I can guarantee,
That I will end up hurting you,
And what you want to be.

Just stay away from me now,
I’m not worth your heart,
I don’t want it in my hands,
I haven’t trusted myself from the start.

I care about you so much,
So I’m going to stay away,
To save you from the curse of me,
And send you on your way.

I know it must hurt now,
And will for quite a while,
I can feel it too,
And see it in your smile.

Don’t let me ruin love for you,
It was my fault from the start,
I should have left you alone before,
And saved your aching heart.

But you are capable of healing,
And I can’t wait to see,
The way you used to smile,
When you used to be with me.

It’ll kill me inside to watch you,
Leaving for that date,
But I am willing to let that go,
To save you from another fate.

I love you,
And I promise,
To always be right here,
But I won’t come any closer,
Yet I will always be very near.
