Letter to My Body
Intimacy is foreign to me
It’s the company that I long for
It’s the friend who knows
My needs
And no
I don’t mean
Getting in between
my knees
As if I need D
For a tank that’s already on E
To fuel me..
Would that make me less lonely?
Or
Would that deepen the void
Inside me?
Leave me
Confused and
With trust issues
Have me agreeing
That being
Alone is
Better than lonely
That being untouched
Is better than
Being taken
Advantage of
Since touches
Without intimacy
Are proven
Problematic!
Then
Maybe
Celibacy
is
The answer
For me.
