LOVE ME WITH YOUR EYES!

If you touch me
I might cry.
I might run away ... sob ... scream ...
My body remembers.
I want you to love me...
I need your love so much!!!
But, love me with your eyes alone --
I'm afraid I'll run away from your touch!
My body remembers
when violence wore a cloak of "LOVE" ...
when being touched by someone who "loved" me
left me cold and dead inside.
I NEED you to love me...
I want your love SO MUCH !!!
But, love me with your eyes alone --
I'm afraid I'll run away from your touch.
