Midas's Curse

Every time I try

To touch another's heart

 It recoils and burns

The second I get close


And every time I try

To speak to another soul

They shudder at my voice

And push me away in fear


Why does everything I touch burn

And everything I love die

How are my words poison

Is everything about me a lie


I want you to live

I want to protect

I want to love

But at my touch you die
