Lack of Affection
It's been so long,
Since I felt another human's touch.
Some nights, I want to go spoon.
I miss that very much.
It's been years since I've been cuddled.
I always sleep alone.
But my fears of affection,
are very well known.
I miss being held tight,
by a pair of strong arms.
I haven't been hugged,
By anyone in so long.
I miss feeling wanted.
I miss being kissed.
I miss feeling loved.
Which I'm not sure exists.
The lack of affection,
can cause me physical pain.
But having that affection,
Can also do the same.
