Undeveloped
A hard shell, bumpy and rough.
White and pale, cold to the touch. Through a crack, an eye appears.
Soft and moist, not ready, dripping tears.
Skin soft, untested, untouched.
Waiting, wanting, to be loved.
Hidden from the world, sensitive nerves
Wet, still, from birth it serves
Seeking sun, seeking sight.
Ugly because it was sheltered from light
Doesn't know what to do.
It never had a chance to be loved by you.
As time goes on, chances missed
Not knowing for what it had wished
Never will it live again
Only here to endure its pain.
