I beg of you:
1. Examine me with curious eyes.
Crave to sneak a look within,
to see where the treasures lie.
2. Caress me with gentle fingers --
hold me in such a way
that every touch lingers.
3. Open me, peer into my soul
and study each aspect with care.
Hold each one in the softest embrace
no matter the fright or scare.
4. And this, I ask with all my heart --
love me, treasure me, and all my parts.
For despite appearances, despite my walls,
I am not Pandora's Box.

Not my best work by any means. The meter changes every stanza and it doesn't flow together well at all. I had originally not intended for it to rhyme but I changed my mind at the last minute.
