..touch..

Run from me

Quickly now

Please just don't

Ask me how

I got this way
I'd rather not share
Because then I'd know
If you really care
Or if you're just pretending
And putting on a show
If you really like me
Or just need me to land a blow

To people who once called me

A sister and a friend

But still didn't touch me

I've wanted to end
All this for so long
This feeling inside
All I am is empty
All I can do is hide

Do you know how it is?

No of course not

I watch them embrace

While my insides rot

I wish I could touch them

Show them that I'm real

The thing I want most

Is to be able to feel…
