Atrophy

“I felt” He said to her And gave a melancholy sigh, “That might not mean much to you But to me it’s something new.” “There are parts of me So atrophied I thought them dead and gone… Yet there you are… And here I am… And between just but a foot wide gap That could span millions of miles, Because no matter how much I touch you I know you will never be mine. So why am I so happy To feel so much pain That I now I wish I felt nothing once again.”
