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.
