Sometimes, I forget how to touch.
So close I can feel it
To grab out and steal it
I want to reach out
to clutch
Sometimes, I forget how to touch
My body begs for the affection
broken , tired, seeking attention
I need someone to say it
To open their arms and tell me
I love you so much.
Sometimes, I forget to touch
I think that the wind can hold me
Wrap its arms around and engulf me
Someone, something
Please come show me
I crave it
I don’t know how else to say it
Sometimes, I forget what it feels like to be touched.
I based my poem off the line "Sometimes, I forget how to touch" from the poem Single Lines Looking Forward. or One Monostich Past 45 by Francine J. Harris
