Sensitive

I’m so vulnerable in this state
You touch me I’ll break
Tearing myself away finishing the job
You don’t know you’re getting paid
Feeling. Stop feeling. Don’t feel anymore
You have no idea of how much this hurts
Even the exteriors of my interiors peel away
I’m so penetrable
Don’t want you to see me this way
So fragile
So fragile when I’m like this
Days when time was shorter and you were taller
Isn’t everyone like me?
I’m up to your chin now
And the years sped by
I’m so unlike the grass and the flowers today
Somehow I’m even shorter
And you have to look
Further down to find me
You smile and tell me its okay to climb out of
This hole
It’s much too deep
You know

I forgive you
