Softly, gently
Sweet kind words that do not harm me
Please be kind
Too rough
I cannot bear it
I need the soft, the romantic
Please be kind to me
Protect me
Guard me from the abrasive unknown
Shield me from brutal reality
I cannot bear it
Please protect me
I need gentle, soothing words of kindness
Give me your gentle sweetness, naïveté
It's what I crave
And how I thrive
Not brutality, I ignore reality
Ethereal fantasies are where I reside
