it hurt to know you, to feel what it's like to touch
to feel your hands around my shaking self
darling i don't know if it's you i want
i think i want my other boy my once ago, my other friend

different than i thought i don't want you
tell me that you'll hold me, b/c theres no one else
i want to be the one to love, but not by you
don't want to be the supermodel body you've held
i want to be held,thats the way you can love me

THis is really prosey , i think some of the words you should take out and make it more poetic . Maybe straighten out the meter and structure

[ ] =delete.
( ) =add

i hurt to know yo
feel what it's like to touch(this i didnt understand)
feel your hands around my shoulders( try to make it more elaborate and descriptive
darling i don't know if it's you
i think i want my other boy(this is out of context it throws the idea.)
(the old timer) [my once ago], my other friend

different than i thought i want someone( what are you trying to say here try it in less words but each word holding its own story)
tell me that you'll hold me
( i )wish you'd love me once again
i want to be a girl to love
not the supermodel body you've held (what do you mean, you want to be a person and not loved for the body?)
love me i want to be held,  (describe how you picture this
thats the way you can love me

This poem has the message "love me for who i am" but, it loses it's potency here in wordyness. You could attempt it with the fewest words you possibly can. Make it as direct as you can.

well i took some of your advice, not all, but i thank you for it all. i fixed it. i was kinda confused in writing it b/c it's full of mixed emotions. she just wants someone there to hold her, to speak her laungue of touch, but she doesn't really want the one who speaks her laungue, she wants her old boyfriend back the one that loves her inside emotions and everthign else about her, not the boy who loves her body b/c she looks like a supermodel
