Resist

I feel you on my skin
early AM until late hours
I think of you in the shower
drinking coffee
eating breakfast
reading textbooks
feeding plants
scrolling Instagram
strolling the streets
buying laundry detergent
changing the sheets
cleaning mirrors
burning incense
closing night curtains
so that the neighbours won't see
I want to touch you
I know I should resist
I close my eyes and pick
at the scab over a minor wound
now my leg is bleeding
and it feels so good.

What is it about scabs that we just have to pick at them?
