Touch Me


Touch me

 

Touch me

Let flesh meet flesh

Warmth meet warmth

Let your skin know that mine is near

That I am here

That we are not alone

Not now at least

Hold me

In the dark

Through the storm

With your head on my shoulder

Or my head on your shoulder

Just touch me

Touch me while you can

While I can still feel

Before I grow cold

Before the sun comes back up

Don’t let me be taken by the night

Swept away in the seas

That’s all I really need

All I ask of you

Touch me

Please

Hold me

Please

And everything will be alright

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
