Please don't and I won't

there is an ache inside my bones while they mend from my fall causing me to wonder, is letting go? worth this - this outcome at all. now, falling out of love with you has proven to be quite the chore for as i attempt to love you less my heart breaks that much more dear, the pain is not in loving you it’s our slow demise, i can not bare so with dark hope, i am holding on to an emotion we no longer share but since, i don’t cry out of loneliness nor wrap myself inside despair please, don’t forbid me to love you and dear, i won’t demand you care
