I need touch but not of any kind. I need the gentle one filled with tenderness and love. It is so hard to tell for it means admitting the ache in my chest clenching tight. I need to let myself feel it. I don't want to get numb, not again. I feel so vulnerable. Fragile. Like porcellain. Lying still in silence, calmly crying tears. They carry my hurt, my loneliness. At the same time they carry the knowledge that I am indeed loved. I am scared, scared that by telling this you are going to let me slip. A fragile child shattering on the ground. Rejected once again, old scars reopening. It's too much to bear. It just hurts so much. Rejected, lonely once more. So if i reach out for you please don't freak out, I'm not in love nor am I a stalker but a part of me is hurting and i want it to heal. I need touch, a tender caress, the warmth of skin so comforting. Please hold me close, don't let go. I feel so exposed, nothing left to hide behind. Please don't turn away, I'm standing here, so insecure, soul stripped of all armor. And I'm scared.

Craving touch
I need touch but not of any kind. I need the gentle one filled with tenderness and love. It is so hard to tell for it means admitting the ache in my chest clenching tight. I need to let myself feel it. I don't want to get numb, not again. I feel so vulnerable. Fragile. Like porcellain. Lying still in silence, calmly crying tears. They carry my hurt, my loneliness. At the same time they carry the knowledge that I am indeed loved. I am scared, scared that by telling this you are going to let me slip. A fragile child shattering on the ground. Rejected once again, old scars reopening. It's too much to bear. It just hurts so much. Rejected, lonely once more. So if i reach out for you please don't freak out, I'm not in love nor am I a stalker but a part of me is hurting and i want it to heal. I need touch, a tender caress, the warmth of skin so comforting. Please hold me close, don't let go. I feel so exposed, nothing left to hide behind. Please don't turn away, I'm standing here, so insecure, soul stripped of all armor. And I'm scared.
It's been a long time since i've written this, but it still feels so real.
