Sunshine, please

Don’t comfort me.
I don’t want to feel you warming me.
Can’t you let my every morning be
As dark as a heart,
As cold as a smile,
As empty as a broken glass.
You’re not helping me.
Sunshine, please,
Leave me alone.

Don’t smile at me.
I don’t want you here reminding me
There’s no danger of them finding me.
I’m lost and apart,
I’m nobody’s child,
As lonely as a blade of grass.
You’re no friend to me.
Sunshine, please,
Leave me alone.

    It really good! I like the way you have worked with different rhythms, it makes the poem ebb and flow.
