You will not love me
The way I need
I cannot care
If you cry or bleed

The circles of our lives
Have the barest overlap
You don't desire to find
A place on my map

I read into your kindness
Took your warmth to my heart
It's better that I never
Acted as if we had a start

VA-A Poem "Scalpel"
It took a stranger's words to drive home
Your lack of concern
Apathy is what remains
Of a heart that once yearned
You will not love me
The way I need
I cannot care
If you cry or bleed
The circles of our lives
Have the barest overlap
You don't desire to find
A place on my map
I read into your kindness
Took your warmth to my heart
It's better that I never
Acted as if we had a start

I thought about that song after seeing your series of related poems, and the conversations with some people about your feelings.

(music) Cuts Both Ways (Gloria Estefan, 1990, lyrics) [3:17] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkpyBlEwTPk

lyrics
It cuts both ways
Our love is like a knife that cuts both ways
It's driven deep into my heart each time
That I realize

How it cuts both ways
Can't be together, cannot live apart
We're heading straight into a broken heart
But I can't stop

'Cause I feel too much to let you go
I'm hurting you and it's hard I know
To stay and fight for what we've got
Knowing it'll never be good enough

'Cause you and I are dangerous
We want too much and life ain't that way
Don't ask for more, you'd be a fool
Haven't we already broken every rule?

It cuts both ways
We're in too deep for sorry alibis
Can't have regrets or even question why
We can't say goodbye

Because it cuts both ways
No more illusions of the love we make
No sacrifice would ever be too great
If you would stay

'Cause I feel too much to let you go
I'm hurting you and it's hard I know
To stay and fight for what we've got
Knowing it'll never be good enough

'Cause you and I are dangerous
We want too much and life ain't that way
Don't ask for more, don't be a fool
Haven't we already broken every rule?

Cuts both ways
Our love is like a knife that cuts both ways
It's drivin' deep into my heart each time
I see we livin' the lie

And it cuts both ways
It cuts both ways
Cuts both ways
Cuts both ways
