don't touch me
please
I might reach back
for you in want
of finding me
and a soft and caring touch
right now is
the last thing that i need
i know i wear my mourning
with eyes half full of tears
but I don't know why
and I wish I could tell us both
but the words are lost to me
I think I hid them to escape
the responsibility
I do wonder the source
of so many tears
and I try to reason out
why some songs and
driving home makes me cry
why the cold wind that
takes away the green
makes me want to give up trying
and why these days my smiles are
so hard to find
but each time the overfilling
tears are more than I can take
and so I blink them back
and with a shrug of my mouth
and my shoulders
I go back to working too hard
so please
don't touch me
not now
a soft and caring touch
is the last thing that I need.
In want of finding me
I might reach back
for you
and find the honesty
in me

No, thank YOU, Corazon for your fabulous insight into human emotions. I know what you mean, I think. The dam can look solid but one small crack can bring it tumbling down

yet we live and breathe in the moments of needing that touch...
awesome reflections Cor,

take care...

Corazon, I love reading your poetry.  You put so much of your heart and soul into it.  How often have I felt the very emotions you wrote about in this piece?  Too many.  Those times when we know that we will collapse with the simplest, softest touch are the times when we need it the most.  ((((Corazon))))

Take me as I am or watch me as I go
