Yearning For Something Tangible

I want someone to trace the angles of my body without judging 
Touch very scar like I’m precious 
Deal with my temper without budging
I want someone to look into my eyes and see my soul 
I want them to look at my wounds and still adore me
I want them to know that I’m someone worth loving 
I want them to lust my body and love my mind
Love me without boundaries 
Love me without thinking 
Love me tenderly 
Caress my heart with sweet words
Love me although I’m far from pure
Hold me dear to their heart
Just hold me to convince me you’ll never leave

Quite a story about spending to much time in the sun without protection that ultimately leads to cancer. We all pay a price for some our actions that are fueled by our hormones. great storytelling keep writing

Your poem etched from your soul that touches on what we want those closest to us to convey and express without holding back. I like that it unwinds from all the emotions that love is built on great job.
