My body is an island

by @Not-Me

There is a boy who claimed to love me, His hands would grab at my waist Like his lust was cured with the touch, But they roamed over every body Within their grasp like explorers Too afraid to settle down Afraid they'd get bored with just The landscape of my body Just the mountains of my hips The rivers of my hair They'd tire of the hill of breasts Of the lake between my legs And so he never stayed for long. I realize now he never intended to, Always his plan was to leave After he knew every inch of me And I was stupid enough to Hand him a map and mark my heart Right in the middle just incase. But I am worth more than my body I am worth staying, He is not worth baring all explorers He is not the example for how Every hand that touches me will end, He will not be the last And he most definitely cannot stay, Not anymore.
