Please don't do it
I am ugly and show you my outer roughness
You peel my first layer and reveal a little of my inner self
your gaze burns my fragile skin
you continue peeling
getting deeper
I defend myself, but it makes you cry
It pains me to see your tears
But I must protect my self
i can't reveal my feelings
your finger warm on my bare skin
and you dig your nail and begin to peel
my last layer sheds with ease
and finally my core is there
you see my true self and do not flee
I finally understand why, you love me enough
that you'll always stay with me...thank you!
