dismissed broken promises

You don't know how tempting you are.
With you're smooth skin and happy eyes and flippy hair.
And your smile and jokes.
You don't understand at all how you're like a precious artifact in a museum.
I know I shouldn't touch you, I'm not allowed to get too close.
You don't know how hard I'm trying to keep my hands from trying to snatch you.
I remember the alarms going off and the bars coming down on my fingers last time.
I can't explain to you how I seem to forget about it when I see you.
I'm breaking all the promises I made to myself.
