you eye me like prey
waiting to pounce at any false movement i make
but im careful

you touch me like a child
making sure to hold me so i don't run away from you
but im quick

you hold me like a knife
held tightly in your grip so i dont fall and break something
but im sharp

you love me like an unwanted toy
always there for you when you absolutely need it, but ignored otherwise
but im getting sick of it

you speak to me like im stupid
making sure i can understand every single vile breath that leaves your lips
but im not listening

you need me like a strand of hair
not really needed at all just there to look at
but im no photograph

Don't know what to say. It's hard, because I always want to compliment you but the words I use are always the same. Loved it though.
