Human touch. I crave it. But can’t have it. It’s so hard being this alone. A sound. A smell. Can make me want. An accidental brush against my breast is enough to keep me wanting. I lay awake at night forcing my legs together, hoping it’s enough to keep me at bay. I could take care of myself, but no one will be there to hold me when it’s over. My weighted blanket can only do so much. I may feel weight pressing down on top of me, but there’s no arms to hold me. I can’t lay my head on my chest and hear my heartbeat. I can love myself all I want, but my ears still aren’t hearing the words, “I need you.” “I want you.” “I love you.” I can love myself all I want, but it never seems to be enough.
