Curves

My arms over my chest
Where you want yours to be

My back bent over my body 
To have the layers fall over my chest and my stomach

My collars held closely at my neck 
The rolling of my curves hidden always
Sleeves held down over the arms that hold marks of shame

Upon shame I hide my body

Upon your eyes I hide from
The ones that don't see mine
The ones that don't mention the smile I muster at eye contact
The eyes that follow my chest
My curves

Your eyes aren't a problem when I can nearly hear the thought in your head
The images 
The ideas
The emotion.
