confused
why do you look at me
like that?
like i am something
you are about to consume?
i can see you,
you winked at me,
didn't you?
i'm scared of touch,
i curl away with fear
at the slightest brush
of the skin.
please don't make me explain
to you
how scared i am
to go near your house.
it's not you,
it's my fear of what come next,
it's my fear of letting you down.
i'm scared to let people down.
i don't want
you
to
be
disappointed
in
me.
i don't exist for your approval,
yet i am empty.
i'm so lonely,
i have been for ages,
but i'm tired of confusing my
loneliness
for dark nights,
empty promises,
hollow "yes"s
and cold fingers.
do
not
touch
me
do
not
kiss
me
do
not
hold
me
i
am
too
fragile
for
you
i
will
break
~empty intentions, i can see them in your eyes
