​please

please hold me gently.

no matter how defensive i may be.

i will always seem to be stainless, but im more fragile than i seem.

please caress me nicely.

i promise i dont mean to bite.

i have built this version out of survival, but im trusting you to get me out of this fight-or-flight.

please hug me tightly.

im always so cold, but not from the air.

i am conditioned not to feel warmth, but will to heat up next to you if youre there.

please love me loudly.

create as much noise as you can to down out the thoughts in my head.

maybe if you show me enough i wouldnt have to feel so much dread.
