one touch is all that is required to break me,
shatter my reflection in the mirror and spill blood over the floor,
tainting my vision and tears blurring my eyes.
one touch is all that is needed to reignite the flame in my dead heart,
to make it beat again, to make me breath, to make me feel.
it makes my soul burn with passion and set my mind on fire.
one touch is all that should be done to make me open my eyes,
to make me really see the good and the bad,
and how sometimes, it isn't that bad after all.
one touch is all that is a must to every fibre of my being,
because without it, a heavy darkness clouds over me and haunts me day and night,
appearing in forms of shadows, nightmares and... you.
one touch away i am from being yours.
one touch away from letting myself go.
in only a matter of hours, i will close my eyes and wake up from this hellhole,
because one touch is never enough, for i am greedy and i do not mind.
i'm only human, after all.
i have greed encrusted like marvellous jewels into my dna,
lust dripping from my mouth, red like the blood i have tainted on my hands,
gluttony at the tip of my tongue, turning it black like my mind,
sloth burning through my veins like streams of gold,
envy bright and burning the forest held in my eyes,
and pride blooming in my chest like a growing flower.
- only human
