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
