Touch

February 11, 2015

Touch is love

touch is affection

Touch is something we all need

So why does touch just make me cringe

Why can't I stand the affection

Maybe its because touch is pain

I can leave a bruise

Not just on my skin but in my heart and on my mind

I'm scared not of the pain though

I'm scared of the love of the affection

Maybe its because people leave

And even when they're gone you can still feel where they touched you

You can feel every hug, every embrace

You remember how it felt to be loved

And when its gone

that's when the pain comes

A pain worse than any bruise, any broken bone

The pain of a broken heart

Is the worst pain of all
