Mmeso Inspires: Unsafe

It’s unsafe to love me, Morgan,

Because I’m broken in heart and soul,

Now you know, will you let me go?

Will you let me be?

True love scares me away,

Because I believe all of you to be the same,

Arrogant, cheats and ungodly,

Abusive, charlatans and unresponsive,

Please, go away.

It’s unsafe to sacrifice for me, Morgan,

Because it mean nothing to me,

I never believe them to be trustworthy

because they are all the same,

When you promised me “forever”, I thought you’re playing with my emotions,

When you hold my hands, I thought you are admiring their beauty,

When you compliment me, I thought you are making mockery of me,

It appears my heart is unsafe too,

Please, go away.

It’s unsafe to love me, Morgan,

Because I’m broken in body

Torn beyond repair at 7,

My mission was never to reciprocate,

but to revenge.

Trepidation fills my soul,

Hatred, pain, sorrow abounds,

All hidden in a charming smile but

Laced with pepperish heart,

Please, go away.

It is not my fault, is it?

Tell me Morgan, what did you think will happen if I’m broken again?

Will I take up a rifle?

Or a whistle?

No, I will launch a missile,

Now you know, will you let me be?

It is unsafe to love me, Morgan

Because love cannot move my hardened soul,

I see it as a bait to get me down the second time,

When you smile and promised me “till eternity”,

I see you as a devil gnawing at my patched soul,

When you look into my eyes and promise me perpetual fidelity,

I see you as a thief after my broken soul,

Please, go away.

It is unsafe to love me Morgan,

But I must confess, I need help,

Undiluted fidelity, unalloyed loyalty, untrammeled happiness,

Goodness in body and soul to help patch my broken soul,

And when I look into your eyes, I will begin to see new hope again,

Yes, a new heart will begin to form inside me,

Is it too much to ask for?

Maybe no one can do this Morgan,

But if only you can,

You will be safe in my arms,

In my heart too.
