Touch...

betrays all that I try to hide

Touch...

soothes the turmoil inside

Touch...

takes my breath away

Touch...

gives me hope for another day

Touch...

reveals desires I have forgotten and were dormant

Touch...

offers what I need and all that I want

Touch...

awakens a passion I so desperately want to indulge in

Touch...

pacifies my suffering.

Nice final line.

reveals wants I have forgotten and was dormant - I think desires would be better than wants, you've "want" in the following line. Also, "were dormant" is more correct.
