Love Games

Don't look into my eyes, look past my smiles,
dare not hold my hand you are not my glove,
walk me if you must; plan to walk many miles,
i dare not be with one who can't show love.

there is more to me than just my beauty,
dare not twist my hair, not caress my face,
i will not, shall not be another arm cutie,
touch me if your brave, i'll spray you with mace.

i'm not really into all these love games,
love is a game that causes too much pain, 
i much rather live without all this fame,
i wont be a prize for your lustful gain.

so bury this knowledge deep in your thought,
for i'm telling you my love cant be bought.

"i dare not to be the one who cant show love". a brave statement. love is brave. you seem to know your value and thats great. dont ever lose your apparent notion of self worth.- Fish.
