TOUCH
Assigned by design
One to two
You get me
But I can't choose you
...taking
Always talking
But never connect
Trying to reach
Just to get
...on
Permission derision
Turning black
Longing phased
Into perpetual lack
...unwarranted
Necessary expectation
Obligated to receive
Advancement in creation
While the real "me"
....contracted
Again and again
My skin aches with sorrow
Scars of wounds
Bleed in to tomorrow's
....habit
I don't like T.O.U.C.H.
