I want to feel you
I want to put my hands all over you
And touch your skin
And feel your bones
And kiss your scars
And every little identifying mark
And mark you with my kisses
As to let others know you're mine

I want to feel your warmth
As it warms my fingertips
As they drum across your body
Finding a melody
Played in my mind
Just for you

I want to count your freckles
Count the little kisses on your skin
Those little angel's kisses
The ones I would've given you
If I were even a tad graceful

I want to feel you
Understand you
See into your mind
Travel through your soul

But don't touch me
God, no
Do not lay your hands on me
I'm too feverish
I don't deserve you
I don't deserve your touch
You're far too worthy
You'll get your hands *****
On my wretched skin
That's blackened with the ink of my sins
No, no
Don't touch me
The ink will get on your white robes
You don't need that
You don't need me

But I need you.
