PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I think I have been here before,

I have probably already written

something close to this,

maybe it was this.

All I know is

it seems to be a constant

problem to me.

Noone else seems

to notice it,

afterall, it is me.

There seems to be boundaries

that I was unaware of.

The touch of a woman

on my skin again.

Not even in a romantic

sort fo way,

but to just have contact,

seems unlikely.

From a hand shake,

to a high five,

a greeting hug,

or one when

we say goodbye.

Seems so common to everyone,

most go without noticing,

unless you're the one left out.

It becomes something more,

an exaggeration I guess,

but to one who doesn't

receive, it would mean more.

So why do I feel left out?

When in the group, I am

the only one never touched.

I feel like the leper,

who can never be touched,

but if someone does,

the awkwardness arises.

Almost like they are forced to,

which in that case,

I would prefer being the leper.
