I would like to be of glass

• Artist: Hekibel
• Description: One afternoon I was pondering what I wanted in a man, and thought that he should treat me like I was made of glass. Then my mind started to describe what it was to be made of glass, and I made a poem out of it. I know it may not make too much sense, but since it's birthed from my brain, that doesn't shock me one bit.

I would like to be made out of glass
Clear and pure showing all emotions
Showing my soul like the turning of light
Keeping frail things behind me sheltered
But the roughness of the world
Can very easily break me
I shatter beneath a barbaric touch
But shine from an angelic glow
Yes, it would be nice to be made of glass
But I would want someone to protect me
Since I would be so very fragile
Breaking easily from insincerity
I would need strong hands to shield
That become gentle as they touch me
A white dove for a soldier
I am the delicate lace of glass
That can protect a babe from a storm
I am the stern turning of light
That a harsh caress can shatter
So when you hold me in the night
Be aware of what you hold
More fragile than the stars
Yet much stronger than the moon
I would like to be made out of glass
