As my tears weep.
My heart becomes fragile.
One touch could
leave it to crack.
Trying to hold back
as this tide of emotions
comes creeping in.
I wasn't ready to feel.
I've been numb for
so very long.
I've been so strong for
so long I have forgotten
what ones touch could do
to my body.
These tingles
are leaving me
to linger.
Making me thirsty
for another moment
just to hold onto.
It's just been so long
since I felt beautiful.
His words alone
have me such a mess.
My face can't help,
but be a river to flood.
