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.
