A Letter to Jake

Why...don't you love me?
Why, do you hurt me?
I give you my all
My word, my oath, my soul
And you give me everything
Just not what I want...not what I need
Please, just--
Hold me,
Touch me,
Hug me,
Feel me
Look beyond my body, my face
And gaze into my heart
With me forever, you're safe
Can't you see...it's beautiful
It's glorious
It's so utterly real
I need you
I love you
Please, don't be afraid
I will never hurt you
So hold my hand, and please,
Just love me.
