Angel C Poet I do not know?

Curious Peepers

I don't understand how they 
are seeing through me like 
glass.

Poking their heads around 
corners trying to see into my 
past

Trying to cover  up my  
insecurities and fears with a 
little  sass 

But they see it... they see me, 
wondering how long I can last.

They speak sweet words and 
capture my desires.

But it's dangerous to think of 
them to be anything but liars.

Too many of them are lurking, 
like little admirers 

Tip toeing, poking, tearing at 
me like animated pliers.

I deny my fear and just pretend 
it's that I don't care

But mane the truth doesn't 
disappear, me admitting this is 
rare.

Hold me, cradle me, I want 
affection so much

I want to feel secure and safe 
from someone's touch

Physically and emotionally I'll 
push people away. 

Don't touch me, don't look 
through me, I'm fine... I'm 
okay.

However, they see a hurt child 
behind my aggressive attitude

And I feel vulnerable when they 
can tell I'm holding back with 
such magnitude.

They want to get close and 
make everything okay

Well, I won't trust them, it's 
just something for them to say

They know I crave their 
affection, they know I want to 
trust.

But as much as I want to, I 
can't... so it's their hearts that 
get crushed.
