It's the touch,

The searing pain,

Of you.

The pull,

Pinch,

Squeeze,

Of when you lay your

Dirty,

Filthy,

Foreign

Hands on my uninviting, alert body.

The heat,

No, the scorching temperatures that radiate off of you when you're near.

"Give me a sign,"

I pray.

This heat,

This is a relief due to being a clear sign of when you're near,

As much as it is a deeply rooted hatred because it reminds me of the heart you have.

Warm blood in your cold being.

And it reminds me that when laid out side by side,

You by me,

Hip bone to hip bone,

We're the same:

Human.

The same humans that played together throughout our childhood,

The same humans that were supposed to look out for each other,

Except you always took to the extreme of the phrase;

"Keep an eye on her."

-D.
