Your touch ignites me
As it travels across my skin
Longing; but scared
I push away the feelings
Of love, of hope
I’m scared to be burned
Scars tingle at touches
Words seep into a dead mind
I love you …
I cherish you...
You are mine...
Determined not to listen
She walks away
But can she run
From the man who really loves her
Hess, not, lieing
But she can’t look him in the eyes
No more...; after all she is ugly
Will she always be scared
Of the heat of his love
Will she be able to open her heart
Will I be able to open my heart
To love again??

Sweetie this is beautiful & very sad. I can relate to this whole entire poem so very well. you've done a wonderful job with the prompt. I have been asking those very same questions for many years, and I still ask them.
I want to say this to you. she isn't ugly at all and anyone who says that she is, is wrong.. and then mommy will be very mad at them for saying such mean things
I love you very much my shadow angel.
good luck in the contest
