I think my love is turning me into a zombie . . .
he makes it okay to cry
And the tears dissolve my outer layer
My fingers
peel and fray
there is a chuck missing from my neck.
At the moment
I can still hid it
with gloves and a high collar.
But what when my skin is
gone completely?
Will I still be
loved
then?
Or will he leave me
defenseless
and exposed
to the world?
When all my skin is gone.
And I'll be a Zombie
through and through
for all the world to see.

Option 2, picture 6.
Last time I felt like she looks she feels I was afraid it would make me unlovable, so I wrote this about it.

Very good write. It's filled with such emotion, and the form is very well done.

Loved the pure honesty of this write. Sorry he left you feeling this way and had you under his control, thinking crying and pain was alright, it's a horrible way to be. It's like people treating me like a slut/slag - I get so used to it, when they say it or ask me to do stuff, it's normal. It's what life is. Sorry you feel this way. I'm glad you could express it and get something from it, writing it down does always help, I find.

I love it ♥ ♥
Such words, adn i absolutely love the form of the poem, its very unique!!!!! There was a few little things that caught me off guard but other than that it was perfect!!!! I enjoyed the way you compared this to love, taking away your outer shell, and dissolving you, its the truth, but there is always that question will he reamin or will i be alone and vulnerabel, i like the way you put it in words!!!!! perfect my little one!!!!!!!!!! -
