I can't let you touch me,
I'm too broken and too fragile.
He came and he plundered
My sense of self, my sense of self-worth.
I can't let you kiss me,
My tongue only spews venom
He kissed me till I bled
And now I have not a drop of blood left.
I can't let you hold me
The goosebumps on my skin are permanent.
He scratched at pawed at his will
And discarded me when he was done.
I can't let you love me
My heart's too broken for love
He said he'd love me forever
But he couldn't even for a minute.
I feel like I am completely unloveable.
Maybe I really am.
I get my hopes up every time
Only to be let down by the same man.
