Touch

i can’t say i’m sorry anymore
i gave all i had to give 
the time for healing has long past
if it still hurts, it always will
if the wound remains open, it may never close
most of your pain is self inflicted or ego anyway
but i will tell you of my hurt 
every time i touch
everywhere i touch 
everything i touch 
every one i touch
every day
