The curse of touch

I could contain myself once
but now that we have touched
what am I to do now?
Am I to stagnate myself?
Withdraw from the world
that revolved around you
once we had touched?
My silence doesn't frighten you
but my words did...
You touched me
where no one else had dared
but I love yous
you couldn't seem to bear.
The more freedom I acted with
the more you withdrew from me
after we had touched...
You never really wanted
to know... me... as a person
you just wanted to touch me...
Now I have changed
and you can't touch me
anymore...
