Touch me softly
Touch me softly, gently, for I am made of porcelain. The soft glaze of my skin, so easily broken.
Gently ghost your fingers over my cheeks, seeking the pink of warmth.
Softly brush your lips over my forehead, so careful in your touch.
The gentle breeze of your whispers caressing my ears.
Your lips like butterflies when you kiss my eyes— the feather-like touches tracing the arch of my brow.
The honey dripping from your eyes, slowly warming the coldness of my soul.
Please, touch me softly, gently now—
just so the porcelain of my skin doesn't shatter,
just so the emptiness of my soul doesn't spill out.
