Phantom Touch (VRC poem)
Almost there.
You’ve got me almost there.
When I’ve been in this place so long it starts to hurt my eyes.
But I can’t look away, oh how I stare.
'Cause I’m losing myself.
As there’s still this hope I hold like a flower.
I’m losing myself, looking for the thought of you.
Sure, I can stay another hour…
Hold on, let me get my battery pack.
Trusted user.
I’ve had this thing on my face for so long I even managed to get comfortable while laying on my back.
I’m holding the air.
With a phantom touch.
Faintly skin, faintly hair, but faintly isn’t fair, not when I really need you there.
Please, if you really have to, put me down softly with gentle lies.
Words can’t express how happy I’d be if this were real; just make that three word promise one more time.
Before my headset dies.
I’m fighting this doubt back and forth.
Saying: I’m feeling too much.
Being held in the hand…
Of a phantom touch…..
