Short answer,

No.

Long answer,

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,

Do not touch me,

You will not touch me,

Touch me and the walls of hell will smash squarely on your head,

And yes I am totally serious.

Lie with me out in the orchard,

Stay with me far from the sun and rain,

Let the cool calm nature of apathy lull you away from curiosity,

Loose the lock and loose a limb you fucker.

My box is my own to shut away,

Slide it into the heat kissed womb,

Let my secret be born again and this time for me alone and alone for me,

Not for your ever blue faces in books.

I’ll lock my private life away from you,

From the long line and the tweeting birds,

See my pretty false face and tag it to the letter as me cause you’ll never really know,

So know me as hot and airy as ditzy and dim.

Think but never touch,

You can think what you like,

Judge harshly what you think is real about me my righteous jury of pretender peers,

Sword of Damocles level shit right?

What? I can’t know about Damocles?

Wait, I already no what your going to say…

Short answer,

No!

Long answer,

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
