Advice: What Not To Do

Folder: 
General Love

Don't mount me on a pedestal

Because I will make you buckle under my weight.  

Don't treat me like a princess

Because I will make you wish you never crowned me.

Don't call me beautiful

Because I will show you how ugly I can be.

Don't love me

Because I will make you want to hate me.

Don't break my heart

Because I will break yours in the process.

Don't leave me

Because I will make you wish you never met me.

I like your straight-forward style. The honesty is raw but also clear. It reads like a game of tennis. Another great piece.
