I Can't Feel You

By underthebelljar

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You hold me close... But, I am ignorant of your warmth I know only that I don't want human contact today... It burns my skin You whisper, "I love you, do you love me too?" Only to be disappointed by the reply, "Not today, not yet.  But soon maybe... Soon..." I know it'll be never But, I don't want to hurt you... So, I'll give you your daily dose Of hope And soon I unwrap Your arms from around me And announce... "I just want to be alone today." And I wonder... Will it always be this way? I wish I could explain to you If I could just say, "It's not you, it's me. I just can't feel... I'm sorry, If I could You'd be perfect for me... But, I can't so just go away. I'm sorry, maybe I will feel someday." Written November 9th, 2001 © on Nov 09 2001 01:43 PM PST   0 • 1
