See me

E.S. Conway 1985 (United Kingdom)



If you want me for my body,
For that I loath the most,
You've got me quite mistaken,
That part of me's a ghost.

Want me for my laugh,
Or the way I make you feel,
Don't want me for the scars I hide,
The pain they holds too real.

That special someone's out there,
Though I do not know their name,
We're destined for each other,
Our fates, they are the same.

So don't think I'm just taboo,
One of your secret little kinks,
Because it's clear to me you're quite the douche,
And your candour truly stinks!

This is also the reason for so much rhyming; though not necessary for poetry, it was part of what made poetry therapeutic for her and so is an almost certain constant. more…
