Intimacy

It's funny how I've always craved it
Always wondered how it feels like to
Open up to someone.

But I forgot about vulnerability.
Allowing someone else to even
Take a peek of that terrifies me

Walls are down
My skin burns with every touch
Run, fight it, cause a ruckus
Anything to get me away from this
Excruciating pain

Tears

Stay still

All this time I thought what it meant to be vulnerable
For the first time in my life
All my walls disappeared
