Touch Of Death!

Everything I touch, withers away and dies,

I can't be too close, even though my heart cries!
I crave the human touch yet I create an alienation,
Between her and I, there will be no connection!

From a distance, I observe the contours of her face,
I cringe on the inside craving her sweet, heavenly embrace!
I want to be closer to her, more than what I can afford,
Yet, when she comes close to me I dare not say a word!

I fear, the moment when I touch her in an instant she will fade,
From this deadly touch of mine, that haunts me, I can't masquerade!
As she walks towards me I steal a glance from her eyes,
Slowly, in haste I look away, leaving no room for goodbyes!

I dare not give her a chance, to feel my cold, cold touch,
Yet I’d die a million times for her touch that I crave so much!
And so I shut my inner eye trying to erase and lose her face,
Because all I can only think about, is her awful, sweet embrace!

I shut my eyes tighter hoping to lose her lovely stare,
That stare which invites me in, but to take it, I don't dare!
I close my eyes even tighter, ever tighter, my eyes begin to hurt,
I try to heal this pain by shutting my soul and burying it in the dirt!

Because Everything I touch, withers away and dies,
I can't be too close, even though my heart cries!
I crave the human touch yet I create an alienation,

I close my eyes forever more, for my fate is desolation!
