Love Me If I Say No

Love Me If I Say No

By karoshi31 | Yoink Yoink | 14 May 2026



The dark blue sky radiates, the ocean above engulfing millions of beams. My honest inquiry to you, why not me?
I am numb, dead weight. The buzz spreads and invades the arms. Head aligned as I gaze, rush as the feet move.... the control I feed from the corner, otherwise a weary rooftop.

No contact, just a lonely road.
Let me be with you.
Over the edge, no surprises.
Have I earned it?
Solace for the defaulter
I see only what I want.

Just like an angel,
the tingles, the butterflies
you left behind.
No love, no lust,
nothing between us
but your presence, constant
as weather.

I stand at the top, listening to the wind.
“Love me if I say no.
Stay, if I dare.”

They know.
You needed me,
the quiet settled
into a room
I was never in.
