Onion

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!
