I feel like I
Just grabbed an electric fence.
That is the effect
of your skin on my hands.
Please return the feeling to my fingertips,
numbness is among my greater fears.
I feel like I
Just went ice fishing.
Sat out in the cold
with no gloves on.
Without the warmth
of your heat on my hands.
Please return the feeling to my fingertips,
so that I can hold on.
I feel like I
Just caught my hand
in the door.
Trying to stop it
from shutting behind you.
My hands are useless
without you to touch.
Don't blame me for
not respecting your departure.
But please,
Please return the feeling to my fingertips.
so that I can, at least,
hold a pen, write to you,
or about you.
Or feel you close again.
