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
