Free Verse About the Lack of Intimacy |
She keeps it in a neat package, she calls it having sex That keeps everyone at an arms length at least, if not further It just requires giving up her body, her independence intact No commitment, no one left inside, safe as always It's lonely as it can get, unfulfilled and wanting No strings attached, maybe a good night kiss, a promise to call A shower, some clean clothes, a change of the sheets A dirty feeling is all that is left, that and her aching inside Money buys a lot of heartache, loneliness extracts an even higher price She keeps it in a neat package, she calls it having sex She doesn't understand that it's about making love That would require an openness and honesty that she lacks Fear holds her in check lest she tear down a wall or two Making love requires more than she is willing to pay She keeps it in a neat package, she calls it having sex Intimacy requires trust, she trusts no one, not even herself Self loathing is her companion, depression holds her hand Uncomfortable with her body, as stellar as it is The lights stay darkened, it is one less thing to face She keeps it in a neat package, she calls it having sex |
