Touch Me

“I want you to touch me”

I say with that look in my eyes

And you know what I mean

Do not put your hands on me

Tell me you love

Tell me that I'm yours

Touch me with your words

They say actions speak louder

But I know the truth

It's easy for you to touch me

Hands on my body or in my hair

But it's a problem to admit

Look at your friends and say

"She's mine"

"I love her"

"Don't touch her"

All we are is closed doors

Chaste kisses

And whispered words

I wish I’d never started this

Never said yes at the start

But your hands

Oh god and your lips

I couldn’t think straight

I’ve fallen in love

While you’ve fed on lust

“I want you to touch me”

And you know what I mean

This is the last time
