Touch me

Touch me,

it doesn't matter where

and it doesnt matter how

I need to know I'm still alive

so someone touch me now

Shake my hand and say hello

or pat me on the back

kiss me on the cheek

that I may feel this sense I lack

slap my face and pull my hair

make me bleed I just don't care

dig your nails into my skin

so I can feed this need within

I've been numb for such a time

that even pain would be sublime

so touch me, touch me now

I don't care where, I don't care how
