The Leper (#189)

What? Oh yes, it is me.
The leper.
The untouchable.
The person tucked away
In the dark little boxes
In people’s minds
Labeled ~ STRANGE PERSON
DO NOT TOUCH
In Capital Letters
And underlined.
Yes, the leper.
Undoubtedly, your penis
Would indeed fall off
And your soul curdle
To accept my love.
So, forgive my please, if I cry
While I shrivel and die,
From loneliness,
In this horror story called life.
