In Control
/Please stop
Do not say
Those three words
All they convey
Learned my lesson
A long time ago
Love to be avoided
Confuses mind so
Affects reasoning
Alters perception
Leaves one open
To manipulation
Too old for fairy tales
Romantic delusions
Uninterested in games
Attempts at persuasion
In control of my life
As never before
Friendship welcome
Do not ask for more
