I can't equalize or parallel how my skin does tingle at the touch of nothing.
Every word is upon the air, and it disgusts me.
Embarrassment strikes my face hard, and my skin is raw with a reddish ting.

Every eye wanders and refuses to connect.
Strange how this empty smell brings a heavy gas into my chest.
Shrink then swell.
Pathetic pink lungs.
They witness how weak I have become.

Because of your beautiful eyes.

A shadow of your hand hangs on my wall
and I trace my fingertips along the obscure image.
I'm folded into many corners by these pressuring hands.
So different from yours.
Soft like something other then this...
This ragged tattered skin I walk inside.

whoa...this was really deep. I felt it on a level that I usually don't see. This was very powerful, thanks for the read.
