Touch my head my love
It swims with worry and unmet potential
Yet still grows the most beautiful dreams
Touch my lips my love
They are stained with the words I regret having said
Yet still smile at the beauty in the world
Touch my cheeks my love
They are so often wet with tears,they have adapted to sponges
Yet still turn red at the slightest compliment
Touch my neck my love
It is often rigid with stress and worry
Yet still shivers at the trace of fingers
Touch my arms my love
They are carrying a load they never expected, straining beneath
Yet still accepts the load of others
Touch my stomach my love
It is full of knots from even the smallest daily interactions
Yet still yearns for the flapping of butterflies
Touch my back my love
It is cast starkly with the shadows of my past
Yet still loves the fresh air upon it
Touch my legs my love
They are always wanting to run to better things but never fail to buckle instead
Yet they still stand strongly in the face of danger
Touch me with forgiveness and adeptness
Touch me with understanding and desire
Touch me with your whole heart
And we can be boundless
