Don't Touch Me

Don't Touch Me

A Poem by VitalianRose
"

Love language is hard to understand and we all have a weakness to a certain kind...

"
You can't take me anymore
You can't handle my entirety
Yet you are my light
All I can see at the end of this tunnel
You are my might
The only thing keeping me pushing on
But you can't handle me
So it's time for me to be gone
I love you dearly
But I cannot watch on
I cannot continue to tear you down
I cannot continue to see you frown
Always still I will be here
Sitting in the background
Watching from afar
Keeping faith that you will be happy
But please, just one thing
When you see me, do not touch me
I cannot risk crumbling again
Though my walls are strong
We all have weakness
So do not touch me
Because over again I will fall
Because over again I will get attached
Because over again I will hate myself
Just don't touch me
We can go back to friends
We can still talk
But I cannot let my walls back down
I cannot risk anymore of this
The cards I was dealt were horrid and painful
Every single one ending in grief
I can't do it again
So if you're done, be done
Just go and stop fighting
Let my wings do their job
Let them wrap around me like my shell
Let them hide me from the world
Let me never be a problem again
Don't touch me and make me fall apart
Don't touch me and make me melt again
Just go and leave me be
Just please
Don't touch me again

Just another harlequin, performing for the world, hoping that things get better. I write to vent and get my thoughts out of my head because the longer they stay there, the louder they get. more..
