one day, i wish i could be touched/without jumping out of my skin/without wondering when tears will start/without fearing other expectations/without trembling until my teeth chatter/without wanting to throw up/without having to throw down
one day, i wish i could be touched/without penetrating questions/without accusations/without remorse/without pain/without longing/without irritations/without bug bites or cloth burns/without bruises/without blood/without suffocation/without supplication
one day, i wish i could be touched/without boarding my senses up/without cutting my words off/without holding my thoughts back/without denying my desires/without losing my religion/without shielding arms/without imploding
one day, i wish i could be touched/without saying i love you/because we'd have contact
