Skin treatment
I see
And turn in sorrow -
For what your enjoyment is derived from
Is all a game of 'picking-up' -
Not of enjoying
And understanding people more -
Simply a lust to be satisfied
And your social expectation
That you seem to think
That you need to fill.
You treat them like objects -
Subjects to please you -
Even though you know them to be people
It suits you to just enjoy the skin
And ignore the person underneath.
Be to them a human -
If a relationship is to come of it
It will come,
Do not push it -
All you are doing is satisfying a lust,
Not making love.
