Sensitive

Don't touch me,

I'll break.

I'm made of glass,

You see.

But, that's right;

you already knew that about me.

It's why you tiptoe

whenever we meet,

and turn down music

with a piercing beat.

You remember that I'm fragile—

to be handled with care.

Don't dance near me.

Don't you dare.

You know what would happen—

you know that it's true—

I'd shatter, I'd break,

and I might cut you.
