The Parts of Me

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
