see the tears running down my puffed cheeks.
I refuse to look at you because
you'll know I care.
Please look at me and
say you're sorry and that
you didn't mean those nasty things.
I refuse to speak because
you betrayed my trusting heart.
Please hug and touch me because
you made me feel alive.
I refuse to touch you because
you're warm and I'm cold.
Please love me again because
I only knew hate.
Please save my dying soul one last time.
Barbie Marsh
