Sometimes

i just want to touch you

my hand reaches out for your back

when you’re not paying attention

but then i wake up and you’re looking through me

sometimes my legs shake

sometimes my arms break

sometimes my brain quakes

when i come home to find you asleep on the couch

when i never had an answer to the question ‘what do you want’

she never gets my references

if you asked i would get you coffee

sometimes my legs shake

sometimes my arms break

sometimes my brain quakes

i just want to touch you

sometimes my legs shake

sometimes my arms break

sometimes my brain quakes
