Do not touch me
For I only feel pain
Do not talk to me
Don't even say my name
Don't tell me I'm beautiful
I can't listen to your lies
Don't tell me to look at you
You cannot see my eyes
Don't kiss me on my lips
Don't whisper in my ear
Don't wrap your arms around me
Don't even come near
Don't grab for my chest
Don't rub me between my legs
Don't make me feel that hatred
That nausea, that dread
Don't make love to me
For it is all just an act
Don't force me to say words
That I cannot take back
Don't tell me you love me
For it is impossible to believe
Just go away from here
And let me be

I find it easier to write about dark and depressing things, though that is not all that consumes my life. I need to work on the happier things. Give me something happy to write about =)

Sadly true
You capture here so well the "damaged goods syndrome" common to PTSD. Anxiety, revulsion to touch, and the general feeling of not being worthy of another's' love. For so many who have survived abuse it is hardest to love themselves and when others say "I love you," it is assumed to be just one more lie.
You have given voice to many who have had similar experiences and used your bad experiences to pass on something good. You will never know the good you do when you share your feelings, share your experience, and share your survival.
Thank you for the reminder.

That nausea, that dread..."
