Dont Touch Me

Why
do you
tell
me lies
that you want to be with me
when
you refuse
to 
want to touch me

Am 
I so
disgusting
that
you gringe
when
you
see bare
shoulders that
peek through sweaters
you used to kiss
them
and
i loved the butterfly kises
you see
imaginary spots
of
leprosy

You tell
me 
you want
something deeper
than physical
What is up with that
like 
castrated
friends
we have nothing else
I am a woman
you
deny
me
love
WHY

you think
you
are degrading me
or
that
you think of me
as an object
But I am not
you
do not understand me at all
I want
to be the mistress
of the night
and
Yet
you deny me
anything
and even
thinking
this
You think is lustful
well your right
IT IS
but
whats wrong with it

Living life
and loving it
Love is meant for it
Why do you care
so much
what
others think
WHEN
ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT
is having
you deny 
me the right
as a woman
you make me feel
so dirty
like
a crack whore
strung out
on the streets
and you stand
there
spouting words
of
conceited pride

You
make
me laugh
for
what you have
done
making me
love you
and want you
and yet
now
nothing out of it

I cry
and I cry
because
I know
that
I have given so much
and
still
what I am is
wrong
but
i finally feel happy
and accept myself
but
you couldnt let me have that could you
no
Ashamed
and upset
you leave me here
when you go off

contemptuous,
laughter
corroding my viens

I wish you 
were
able to see my way.
I wish that
What i am
to
you ISNT COMPLETLY wrong
I know that I am a strong
woman
and
that I need no man
BUT
Still for you I cry
and it makes me sick
where is that
voice
hidden in that throat of mine.
WHere is that spirit
I had
in my youthful days
I am stuck in this angry daze.
