There are hands all over me, searching for something I'm not sure I have to give, something that's no longer mine to give if it's even there at all There are these scathing, tracing, imploring hands all the ******* time, and their grasp tightens when I pull away, whispering "what's the rush, sweetheart" And then kissing my shoulders, my neck, my hands. God, these hands. This burning. There are hands that are constantly touching me where I can't even touch myself, where I can't even stand to look. Don't touch my stomach. Don't touch my thighs. Don't touch my scars. Just don't. *******. touch. me. Please, just... please? They're in my hair now, on my waist then around my neck And still they're always wanting more. What part wasn't enough, I wonder. Or maybe it was just all of me. But I'm so soft. I'm so beautiful. I'm so ****. So I go back then, shameful, shameless, so **** ashamed, back into the dark, caressing cold To spend another night shaking in another pair of hands to hold me Please, just.... please Why can't anyone please just hold me?
