TOUCH

SJ

​

A Smooth golden brown layer covers my body

It is soft yet littered with scars and flaws

What lies beneath it is something that is so precious

It is so delicate and vulnerable that I have allowed no one to see it

That is what makes my skin so scared

It is the closest most will ever be to my being

Touch is such an intimate sense

While your fingertips graze down the side of my shoulder

A rush of hesitation clouds my mind

With each touch you get closer to me

That's what's so scary about touch

Once you reach my skin my protection is gone

Leaving me completely vulnerable to you
