STOP.STOp.STop.Stop.stop. Quit playing with my essence. Do not pretend to embrace me with sugared expression, naked looks, and silver hooks. Remove your hand from my inner self. Stop stealing from me. I opened myself to a flirt of safety that spoke sweet music to my rhythm; played dramatic melodies to my beat. Pretend gestures reverberating within my soul. Sincere words that allude to feeling whole. I loved you on purpose. Shared myself tenderly with your request of pure love. Unacknowledged. Temper raised; moments braised... Can it wait. Stop asking for me. Forgotten shadows, tear drops of endlessness. Spread my heart. Embrace my complexity. Let me be ME
