I just want to be touched. It's become a desperate need.
Hand on hand. Heart on chest. Lips upon mine.

I've been lonely a long time. Years since I last did the deed.
The loneliness is pervasive. My heart deeply pines.

I miss what I used to have. I miss what could be.
But to never love again seems to be the way this life will go.

I want my phone to light up and have you message me.
But this loneliness hurts like nothing you'll ever know.

I pray it off as a joke. my sadness the butt of it all.
But each and everytime I do the cut grows deep.

One day this misery will end and hopefully I will fall.
Into your arms embrace and warmth hoping to be the man you keep.
