Never again

I will never be touched again--
I have no proof of this

The proof is only my will
I won't allow myself to be loved

The joy is unbearable
the loving smiles ment for others sting like bullets

I will never see the sun shining for me
I've realized how little of the world is changed

Yet the Sun is blue,
and the Ocean yellow

I Will never be her again
and how I miss her

When I bathe, I scrub so hard;
scratching at my skin to rid me of his feel

Not even the sweetest perfumes
can make me want to smell reality

I don't deserve the life I live
I don't deserve this punishment for wanting a touch

Yet the world is calling me to join it--
A call I've hung up on

    Nice poem Emilie, even if more than a bit depressing but then again it's supposed to be n'est pas?
    I like the short couplet form. It feels like anger, like a shotgun blast of words and emotions, one after the other.
    Good luck and thanks for remarking on Bound

    Good. There is some satiric irony in here, considering this poem almost mirrors my life. I liked this a lot and I will comment more specifically when the judging is over. Thank you for entering this contest... it is much appreciated!
