You Will Never Hold My Hand

I am too far away.

Floating above you.

Away from you.

 

Never have I held a hand.

Never have I felt love.

There's a difference.

 

Unspoken and alien.

I cannot look.

Your eyes burn.

 

My breath smells.

It keeps you at length

You haven't really kissed me.

 

No one plays with my hair.

No one caresses my face.

No one holds my body.

 

A young child playing by herself.

Forever stuck in herself.

Forever apart from friends.

 

Never loving.

Never affectionate.

Never there.

 

You will never hold my hand.

You will never hold my heart.
