I still yearn
for that human touch
A deeper connection
with another lost soul

The one to warm me
through those cold wintry nights
To wipe away my tears
of this endless waterfall

To place their hand
upon my beating heart
To caress these lips
longing to be kissed

To take away these fears
of loneliness that grip me
To comfort me those days
of feelings of self shame

I long for a loving touch
upon this broken soul
Scars hidden beneath
this disfigured body

Voices echo in my mind
words so painful and unkind
Stung from years gone by
forcing me to hide

I still crave
for a human touch
That one to quench my thirst
of real love I've yet to find ...
