Skin to Skin

Maybe I was wrong

Maybe it wasn't right

I bare my soul

Yet don't pay attention

You seek my touch

Begging for release

So I touched your heart

Though you felt nothing

Knowing my love is true

Isn't enough to satisfy you

The physical feeling of skin

Seems to be the only thing that excites you

I withhold my words

They'll never be enough

I withdrew my heart

Uninteresting it was

You beg for my touch

Praying for release

But what about my love

Love that exists without physicality

Was it not enough?

Not what you thought it'd be?

I know a lot

A knowing of unknowing

I was completely up front

From the very beginning

Your words have stung

Full of feelings of hurting

Your words that say I'm not trying

Not to your liking

I've not given you the love

Even though I've been trying

But you want a body

I'm sorry I'm not the perfect man

What you had sought out for

What you envisioned

So now with that I'm hurting

Because I question myself as a man

What is wrong with me?

About the Creator

Brent Horling

I'm a free spirit, who is usually lost in free thought. As life goes on and I age closer to my death, I've come to realize that these free thoughts seem to be all I truly have. And that's okay.
