Touch

One touch saved me

I was crossing the street and she grabbed me.

I didnt understand why until I saw the car speeding right past me

I was humbled, grateful, and alive

Her touch saved me

One touch healed me

I was heartbroken and she lay her hand on my shoulder

Tears flooded my eyes when I realized I wasnt alone

She wasn't my companion

But for two seconds she gave me direction

My tears were dried and I was ready to go on with my life

Her touch healed me

One touch scarred me

I was young and couldnt comprehend dirt

I was clean and pure before but his touch was filth

It made me insecure and I havent seen innocence since

His touch scarred me

One touch comforted me

I wasnt ready to move

Wasnt ready to walk after such a filthy touch

But her touch showed me love

Self love

Her touch comforted me
