You study me, like you're seeing me for the first time <br />So young and delicate, it would be so simple to hurt me <br />But my mind's so cynical, you forget the girl in me <br />You concentrate on my hostile eyes <br />Trying to grasp the insecurity inside <br />As if you're saying, <br />'Let me steal away your pain; <br />Let me protect you and you'll never feel lost again.' <br />But you know its wrong <br />For you to look at me that way <br />Like you want to hold my hand in yours forever <br />To stay with me until I fall asleep so that I won't be afraid <br />To catch me when I fall so hard my heart shatters <br />But so much of me is still a child <br />I'm terrified of love <br />And you're smothering me<br /><br />Vaida Marea<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lolita-3/
