i have these days where i shutter at being touched even by my own mother
it makes me feel incredibly guilty
however it's not my fault
it's their fault
the people who touched me when i didn't want them to
my skin crawls most days because i feel their hands not my loving mother's or best friend's
i know they're nowhere near me but i can feel them still
they haunt my dreams and my day to day to life
like tonight
im lying awake feeling the hands that touched me when i didn't want them to
touch is something that is no longer gentle and loving but something i shiver and want to pull away from
