Untouchable

I saw you
Again
Last night.
Your hair is dark.
The eyes are unwavering.
A wall of aloofness
Surrounds you;
Protects you
From a barrage of emotion.
Behind the anger
I can see the pain.
Your compassion is concealed
By cruelty.
Bitterness
Curdles your love.
I'm sorry I hurt you.
Made you so cold.
I want so badly to hold you.
To warm your lips with mine.
Right now I'm unsafe.
My skin is like poison.
I left you
Because
I loved you.
I can only watch you
Through
An impenetrable
Glass.
