I'm not a piece of cake.

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. Someday the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age.
— H. P. Lovecraft.

This is not a plea,

I'll promise not to flee.
We can go for a walk,
but I shall not talk.
Take it slow,
I don't even know.
Tell me about me,
I will just agree.
Ask me about me,
I won't give you the key.
Don't tell me about you,
I don't need a clue.
Let's break away,
I may not stay.

I am fine,

without wine.

I am okay,

just pour it away.
This is not for you,
stop reading this too.

M.

for you to just discard

while you walk away

with the frosting of my heart.
