You Touched My Soul

a poem by thenorm

I was cold.

I was lonely.

You were there.

My soul was aching,

My heart was breaking

And you cared.

My cool facade

Of Strength,

Of Power

Did not

Phase You Out.

I tried to

Phase You Out.

And You saw me.

And You knew.

In Gallows’ laughter,

My respite,

I tried to fool you.

I was a fool.

In my heart,

In my soul,

There was

A Healing Touch,

A Gentle Hand.

And you embraced me.

With no great

Actor’s words,

Empty treasures,

You embraced me.

You touched my soul.

You touched my soul.
