poison touch

my touch is all i have

my words are all i know

are they poison to your soul?

are they a sickness you hide away from?

they doom me to a life of solitude

to be as a leper among all around me

have I destined myself to be a souless creature

that does not deserve the passion of another soul?

deeper i walk into the vast darkness of my heart

forgetting what light lies behind me

seeking the refuge of a corner

in my own personal hell
