Grammatically you would say "I pity you". You cannot "pity on you"!! You can take pity on someone but that normally means you are going to do something as a result - i.e. "I gave the beggar £1 because I took pity on him".
If it is because you are trying to be nice to someone who loves you but you do not love you could say that you feel sorry for them, which is far less patronising than pitying them!
If you have to be blunt with them then you would tell them to "get over me" not "get off me" (unless they were actually physically on you!).
Do you pity this person or are you just sorry for the way you are making them feel? In which case you would just say that you are sorry but that you don't love them.

You just say "I pity you" or (less elegantly) "I feel pity for you." You can say "take pity on someone" but it means to do something because of your pity; it's not just a feeling.
You'd have to be pretty full of yourself to pity someone just because you don't love her, but oh well. "Will you get off me?" is only appropriate if she's actually on you (on your lap, or lying on top of you). "Get over me" means "stop loving me".

will u get off me i would say
- you pity someone as in ( i pity you)
or you can have pity for someone (I have pity on you/ for you
they both make sense but
i pity on you does not make sense,
i would expect a reply such as , dont have pity on me, or dont pity me.

I would say your grammar was pitiful.
