Love Poem: Untouchable
Nikki Peterson Avatar
Written by: Nikki Peterson

Untouchable

I was untouchable
My emotions roped in place
Never feeling more than I wished. 
…
I was untouchable
But this disease,
This curse,
 Crept into my body
Silently seeping into my skin  
Wiggling into my veins 
Overtaking my organs
…
I was untouchable
Until he told me that he loved me
…
I was untouchable 
Until I realized that I loved him
…
Now all I want is for his touch
