The touches hurt like

Needle pricks

Match stick burns

Cat claw scratches

I'm surprised

I don't bleed

No one else

Understands

When I say

Their touch feels

Like I'm getting

A shot

Their voices

Are sharp as glass

And hurt just as much

Some don't hurt as

Much as the others do

Some are softer

Like a blanket or

Worn paperbacks

And it's nice

But some still

Hurt like

Cold water or

Too soft it's wet

And it's hard to

Explain so

I don't and

I suffer
