"The poor world is almost six thousand years old, and in all this time there was not any man died in his own person, videlicit in a love cause....Men have died from time to time, and worms have eaten them, but not for love." William Shakespeare

Look how far I've fallen,
Look how deep I've gone.
Asking you to touch me,
Wanting you to want me.
I long to feel wanted,
needed,
loved.
Anything but this:
Numb.
So please touch me.
Kiss me.
Hold me.
Use me.
Lose me.
Oh, God.
Look how far I've fallen.

This poem is about desperation. About finding any way possible to FEEL.
