Touch, hurt, heal, love or leave?

My skin is like a map
Of where my heart has been
And I cant hide the marks
It's not a negative thing
So I let down my guard
Drop my defences drown by my clothes
I'm learning to fall
With no safety net to cushion the blow

I bruise easily
So be gentle when you handle me
...

.

Anyone who can touch you
Can hurt you or heal you
Anyone who can reach you
Can love you or leave you.

...
