Cant

cant someone just reach for my heart not
 reach inbetween my legs
 you tear me apart scatter the
 pieces just leave them if you find them
 remember my hearts fragile its not elastic and
 im not plastic i have a mind of my own
 its not a game if you wanna buy my
 soul leave me alone cant you see 
all my scars are man made i dont want
 to be someones personal punching
 bag i dont want my arms to be my
 cutting board cant someone
 just hold me close and say . . . i love you tell me to
 please stay and if i deny they wont chain
 me down and force me to remain

This is one of the most heart-rending poems that I've ever read. No one deserves that pain.
