Don't

Touch

Me

I've made

That

Mistake

Before

Let

People

Close

Let them

Get

Under my

Skin

Then they would

Burn

Me

Slide the

Blade into my

Back and

Twist

No future in

Trusting

Loving

Merely

Heartache

Pain

Emptiness

So you can

Color me

Black

Walk on by

Leave me

Alone

Untouched

Been hurt

Too

Often

No longer

Able to

Trust

Care

Locked

Myself

Away

Thrown away my

Keys

Heart

Love

Safe within my

Fortress of

Solitude

No room for others

Only the coldness of

Bricks and

Steel
