You can't touch me
unless you are so full of intention
& I can see where you've written
promises all over my skin
you can't hold me
unless I know
that there are better days ahead
because I've had quite enough
of people trying to break me
because they can't handle
the way I shine sometimes
and you can't love me
if you don't know me
which is the good and the bad
the secrets I hold inside my heart
all the darkness I used to know
you can't want me
if you don't try
to keep me
which means never
making me feel
like I'm second best
because I'm not one
to play games
when I know
how short
this life is
