I host my thoughts behind written prose
As when I use this format I expose
The realisations I hold dear to me
And make more clear what’s important to me.
Rewording my notions so they fit a cadence
Makes it easier to share them and aids us
In our journeys of figuring out what it is that’s essential
To us and to our body, to reach our full potential
We take a breath and confess that we suffer in silence
Touch starved as hell and need of some guidance
Of how to find some help getting that affection
And feeling like we’re wanted, feeling a connection
Of how to find a private little corner
that won’t require me to call the coroner
for pieces of my soul
that have died from the long drawn out toll,
of searching for some love to make us feel whole
Most of our attempts have been met with disgrace
But that’s from searching and looking in all the wrong place
To find love, to find attraction:
It’s not as easy as a simple transaction
Indeniably,
I put too much responsibility
on the intimate facet of love,
and I act like it’s something I’m owed
But love and it’s aspects are not something you get,
they’re something you’re showed.
Through affection and kindness and words and actions
For your lover’s satisfaction,
To see your reaction
It’s hard to describe, love is just an abstraction.
