Title: All She Wanted
Summary: A poem about Rogue's wish to touch and how she sees the world around her.
She was so beautiful, and yet she was so deadly.
Touching her skin would guarantee a coma in anyone and everyone.
All she wanted was to touch someone without killing them, to touch anyone.
But everyone knew her power, or her curse as she called it.
All she wanted was for her wish to come true.
She envied how others around her could touch and do anything they wanted.
Anything from a simple hug and kiss to even make love if they wanted.
But not her.
Fate had been against her all her life.
Irene had kept her isolated from the world,
Mystique had betrayed her too many times.
In her world, she could touch anyone she wished.
She could be anyone she wanted and with anyone she wanted.
There was one man on her mind and in her heart.
She knew the day she saw him she wanted him.
But she wanted to be with him, for him to love her as she loved him.
Yes, the Rogue had fallen in love with the thief named Gambit.
Even if Gambit gave her all the attention in the world, she still could not touch.
She still could not touch anyone without hurting them.
"Who would wanna be with a girl who's untouchable.." Rogue pondered this sadly to herself.
All she wanted was a friend.
All she wanted was a love.
All she wanted was a chance.
A chance to touch again.
