Soft But Hard

                                                               Soft

                                                        Gentle Touch

                                                     Hand   on    cheek

                                             Smooth, sensitive to touch

                                         A    love    to    always   be   shared

                                   Something worthy of pleasant, loved praise

                                       But perhaps not worthy of harsh reality

                                                Or the feeling of closeness

                                                  Not captured, incurable

                                                      In its love of sight

                                                          Leading to

                                                           Harshness
