What I want is a simple impossibility; touch me; I crave contact with a neediness that's appalling. Images of your hands haunt me as I attempt to memorize the touch of your skin through sight alone. I may need to press my hand flush to the gap between shirt and jeans, but I will never touch you, or allow myself to be touched; I cannot predict your reaction. I fear that your touch will find more than I mean it to, that somehow you could read my thoughts through contact, that you would not want what resides within my skull. It is difficult to remember your value when you never touch and never speak, and in turn receive neither. I will not ask to be held as though I hold some value for another. I ignore my body's protests of misuse; I dress; go out into the cold. By the end of the day I am trapped in a body weary from trying to protect me from myself. |
