Your bones are made of fear,

strong and breakable.

You wonder why your hands 

and heart

tremor

when someone touches you.

You're afraid of letting them in,

aren't you?

Words can break your bones

worse than sticks and stones

ever could.

Your mind tries to tell you

lies,

doesn't it?

It's too dangerous to let someone

get close,

yet you cannot

push them away.

Your head tells you to do so,

but your heart,

it wants them to stay.

It's not broken,

my darling -

you are.
