Fragile
You have to be gentle with me
I'm fragile as all fragile can be
you have to take your time with me
because time is the best thing that allows us to see
The inner beauty
the hidden pain
all of my strength
my weaknesses
my shame
Inside of this Shield
the walls that I've built
lies a heart that yearns to be loved
hands that yearn to be held
lips that yearn to be kissed
a body that yearn to be touched
Patiently waiting my turn
For love to come my way
patiently waiting to see
the same thing I give out
being given back to me
